A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and confident, tapered thick strokes. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, giving a carved, calligraphic finish rather than flat slabs. Round letters show a smooth, controlled stress and open counters, while joins and terminals stay crisp and clean. The overall rhythm is poised and even, with a slightly generous vertical presence and clear separation between stems and hairlines that reads well at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine layouts, and book typography where a refined serif voice is needed. The strong contrast and crisp detailing make it especially effective for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding, while still remaining composed enough for longer reading when set with appropriate size and spacing.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its fine hairlines and sculpted terminals suggest sophistication and restraint, making it feel premium without becoming ornate or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif updated with sharper contrast and cleaner, more fashion-oriented detailing. It aims to deliver authority and readability while adding a distinctly elegant, high-end finish for contemporary publishing and brand systems.
Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, pairing strong verticals with delicate cross-strokes. Lowercase shapes maintain clarity, with a two-storey “a” and “g” lending traditional text credibility. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep sequences looking orderly and upscale.
