A high-contrast serif with narrow hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a crisp, polished rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with subtle flaring where strokes finish, producing pointed terminals and a chiseled, engraved feel. Capitals are proportionally tall and stately, with smooth bowls and clean joins; curves are taut rather than soft. The lowercase keeps an even, readable color at text sizes, with compact, sturdy forms and clear counters, while numerals follow the same contrast pattern with fine, delicate diagonals and tapered endings.
It performs especially well in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and book jackets where its contrast and sharp terminals add authority. It can also serve luxury branding, cultural institutions, and packaging where a refined, classic voice is needed. In longer passages it remains readable, though the delicate hairlines suggest it will look best with thoughtful sizing and reproduction.
The font conveys a poised, literary tone—confident and formal without becoming ornamental. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast read as premium and curated, suggesting tradition, taste, and a hint of dramatic sophistication. Overall it feels suited to polished publishing and high-end brand communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional proportions and serif structure paired with pronounced contrast and subtly flared finishing strokes for extra polish. It aims to balance readability with a display-ready elegance, offering a distinctive, high-end texture in both titles and refined text settings.
The ‘g’ is double-storey and the ‘a’ is single-storey, creating a contemporary editorial mix within a classical serif framework. Diagonals (notably in V/W/X and several figures) show very fine hairlines, which heightens the sparkle and gives headlines a crisp presence. Spacing appears balanced and controlled, supporting both display settings and continuous reading in the sample text.
