A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are smooth and slightly sculpted, widening into gently flared, bracketed transitions that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with sharp apexes and clean, straight-sided geometry, while lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a looping “g.” The overall color is bright and refined, with delicate joins and terminals that stay consistent across letters and figures.
This design suits magazine and book typography, especially for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-forward editorial settings where its contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and formal stationery such as invitations or certificates, where a classic, refined serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and formal, leaning toward traditional book and magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and fine details convey sophistication and ceremony, with a quiet, premium confidence suited to classic, high-end presentation.
The design appears intended to reinterpret classic high-contrast serif construction with subtly flared, sculpted stroke endings for added elegance and character. It aims to balance traditional readability and proportion with a more refined, display-ready sharpness and sparkle.
In text, the contrast produces a lively sparkle and a distinctly editorial texture. The numerals are similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that match the serif detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, timeless appearance.
