A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and full, counters are relatively open, and joins show controlled tension that reads well at display sizes. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm alternates between sturdy vertical stems and fine connecting hairlines for a refined, high-contrast texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, and premium branding systems that need a traditional serif with a contemporary edge. For extended reading, it will perform more comfortably at generous sizes and spacing where the fine strokes remain clear.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward polish. Its sculpted contrast and crisp finishing convey confidence and formality, leaning toward an elegant, print-oriented sensibility rather than a neutral utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and crisp, sculptural finishing for impactful editorial typography. It prioritizes elegance and presence, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more dramatic stroke behavior.
In the sample text, the darkest verticals create strong emphasis while the thin horizontals and diagonals add sparkle. Curved letters like C, G, and S show a slightly flared, brush-informed energy, and punctuation and numerals follow the same high-contrast logic for a cohesive page color.
