A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, with subtly flared, tapered stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt cuts. Capitals feel tall and stately with clean, open counters; curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while joins and terminals stay crisp. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a double-storey “g,” plus narrow, well-defined apertures. Numerals mirror the same contrast and finesse, with delicate hairlines and strong main strokes that read best at display and larger text sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits book covers and luxury or cultural branding systems that benefit from a refined, classical voice with a modern edge.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, balancing classical book typography with a contemporary editorial sheen. Its sharp detailing and rhythmic contrast suggest sophistication and formality, lending an upscale, curated feel to titles and brand-led messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-end serif voice with strong display presence and a polished editorial texture. Its flared stroke endings and disciplined proportions suggest a goal of combining classical forms with a more sculptural, fashion-forward finish.
In longer sample text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively, sparkling texture; spacing appears measured and even, producing a composed rhythm. The flared finishing on verticals and the crisp serifs contribute to a distinctive silhouette in all-caps settings while still maintaining a traditional serif credibility in mixed-case typography.
