A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Stems are sturdy and straight, while hairlines taper to very fine serifs and crisp terminals, creating a bright, high-contrast texture. Proportions feel classic and slightly formal, with generous caps and a restrained, readable lowercase; curves are smoothly modeled, and joins stay clean rather than calligraphically bracketed. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, giving figures a polished, display-ready presence.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent settings where its high contrast can read cleanly and add sophistication. It also works well for premium branding and packaging, and for book or magazine typography where an elegant, classical tone is desired.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a confident editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted forms add drama and a sense of luxury, while the traditional construction keeps it anchored in familiar, bookish elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized take on classical high-contrast serif typography: sharp, polished, and attention-grabbing in display use while maintaining conventional proportions for comfortable reading in larger text sizes.
In the sample text, the contrast creates lively rhythm at larger sizes, with thin strokes contributing sparkle and strong verticals providing stability. The italic forms introduce a noticeable slant and a lighter, more calligraphic feel, complementing the upright without changing the underlying refinement.
