A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. The design leans on vertical stress and a steady upright stance, pairing strong main stems with fine cross-strokes and delicately bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that give counters a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel. Proportions skew broad in the capitals and generous in overall set width, while lowercase forms keep a clear, readable rhythm with tidy apertures and compact, precise details.
Well-suited to magazine typography, cover lines, and large headlines where the contrast and detailing can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from an elegant, classical voice, and works effectively in poster-style settings with ample size and spacing.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical book-serif familiarity with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and clean finishing convey elegance, authority, and a premium, print-minded sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional text serif: familiar underlying structures enhanced by dramatic contrast, crisp serifs, and a wide, confident stance for elevated editorial and brand use.
In text settings the contrast produces a lively light–dark cadence, and the combination of sturdy verticals with fine hairlines creates a crisp page color. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with a mix of straight-backed forms and rounded bowls that read as traditional yet display-ready.
