A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical stress. The serifs are fine and sharp, with crisp, largely unbracketed connections that give strokes a clean, cut-in feel. Capitals read stately and compact with controlled proportions, while lowercase shows rounded bowls, narrow joins, and lively stroke tapering that produces a bright, rhythmic texture. Numerals echo the same calligraphic contrast, with slim hairlines and weight concentrated in verticals and main stems.
Well-suited to headlines, title treatments, and editorial typography where contrast and elegance are primary. It can work for pull quotes, mastheads, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, high-end serif voice; for dense body copy, it will be most comfortable at sizes and conditions that preserve its thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashion-and-literary kind of sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and keen, precise details feel luxurious and authoritative, leaning more toward cultured refinement than friendliness.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif look with a contemporary crispness, emphasizing sharp hairlines, disciplined vertical structure, and a refined reading rhythm. The goal seems to be a premium, editorial-ready texture that signals tradition while staying visually precise.
In text, the hairlines and sharp serif tips create a sparkling page color, especially around joins and curved letters. The design favors crispness over softness, so it visually rewards generous sizes and careful reproduction where fine details can stay intact.
