This serif shows a distinctly high-contrast structure with slender hairlines and prominent thick strokes, producing a crisp, engraved look in text. Serifs are finely bracketed and taper into sharp points, while many curves end in subtle ball or teardrop terminals, adding a slightly calligraphic finish. The letterforms combine relatively compact, vertical proportions with occasional wider characters, creating a lively rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in round letters), and the overall spacing reads as designed for comfortable setting at display and larger text sizes.
It performs especially well in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where high contrast and refined detail are assets. It also suits premium branding and identity work for culture, fashion, hospitality, and events, particularly when used at moderate to large sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that feels suited to literature, fashion, and formal communication. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals suggest sophistication and a touch of drama without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and carefully finished terminals, delivering a sophisticated display-ready voice that still maintains coherent text rhythm.
Uppercase forms present a stately, traditional presence with strong vertical stress, while lowercase includes expressive details such as a single-storey “g” and a delicate, lightly finished “r,” contributing warmth and personality. Numerals echo the same contrast and pointed serif treatment, reading crisp and dignified in running text.
