A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller verticals that create a pronounced light–dark rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with pointed terminals and subtly calligraphic shaping in bowls and joins. Proportions feel fairly traditional, with steady uppercase structure and a slightly more animated lowercase; the italic is not shown, and all forms appear upright. Numerals and capitals read cleanly, while the lowercase includes lively details such as a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a strong eye, and a q with an elegant descending tail.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also works for editorial typography—such as magazines and book covers—where a classic, high-end voice is desired, provided reproduction can hold the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing formality with a touch of drama from the strong contrast and sharp finishing. It evokes classic book typography and fashion/editorial styling, giving text an upscale, curated feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif foundation with elevated contrast and refined detailing for an editorial, premium presentation. Its controlled proportions and disciplined rhythm suggest a focus on elegant text color and confident display impact.
Round letters (O, C, Q) show controlled, vertical stress, and the joins and curves are tightened to keep counters crisp at display sizes. Spacing appears even and measured in the sample text, supporting dense setting without losing the distinctive hairline sparkle.
