A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, sharp hairlines, and crisp, clean terminals. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, giving the letterforms a precise, cut-stone feel. Proportions are generous and slightly expansive, with tall capitals and a steady baseline rhythm; curves show vertical stress and tight, controlled apertures. In text, the strong stems create a clear typographic color while the delicate horizontals and joins add sparkle and finesse.
Well suited to display typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper features, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. It can also work for short-form text such as pull quotes, captions, or section heads when printed well and set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sense of sophistication. The sharp contrast and refined hairlines bring a luxurious, high-fashion flavor, while the classical skeleton keeps it composed and traditional rather than playful.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a modern, high-contrast interpretation of classical serif construction: authoritative structure paired with hairline finesse. It appears designed to create a strong, elegant voice for editorial and brand settings, emphasizing sharpness, polish, and visual drama.
The design’s thin strokes and serifs are visually prominent and may become delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution output, while at display sizes they produce a striking, high-definition look. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with curvy figures showing pronounced thin entry/exit strokes and strong main stems.
