A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdier verticals, giving a crisp, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed with subtle flaring at stroke terminals, producing a carved, calligraphic finish rather than blunt endings. Uppercase proportions feel stately with generous curves (C, G, O, Q) and a clean, pointed apex on A; the overall spacing reads open and controlled. The lowercase shows compact, well-defined counters and a traditional double-storey g, with clear, slightly angled stress evident in rounded forms.
Well-suited for editorial typography—magazine headlines, feature decks, pull quotes, and book-cover titling—where contrast and sharp terminals can read with authority. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, cultivated voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is polished and literary, with a refined sharpness that feels suited to culture and fashion contexts. Its contrast and tapered details lend a sense of drama and elegance while staying formal and composed.
The design appears intended to combine classic serif proportions with a more sculpted, tapered finishing, creating a contemporary editorial feel without losing traditional formality. The emphasis on contrast and refined terminals suggests a focus on impact and elegance in display and headline settings.
Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with slender joins and crisp terminals; round figures (0, 8, 9) keep smooth, balanced bowls. Diacritics and punctuation in the sample text appear clean and light, supporting a bright, high-end page color at display sizes.
