A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong thick-to-thin transitions, set on upright, steady proportions. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with sharp terminals and a clean, engraved-like finish. Round letters show a noticeably vertical stress and tight, controlled apertures, while capitals read stately and evenly weighted. The lowercase maintains a conventional book face rhythm, with compact joins, a two-storey “g,” and numerals that follow the same contrasty, slightly calligraphic logic.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is wanted, and it also performs nicely in headlines and pull quotes that benefit from pronounced contrast. It can lend a formal, refined character to invitations, certificates, and brand collateral, especially when set with comfortable spacing and solid printing or high-resolution rendering.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with an editorial polish that feels traditional rather than decorative. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing evoke literature, institutions, and luxury-facing communication where a composed, authoritative voice is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and refined finishing, balancing readability with a more glamorous, display-ready edge. It aims to deliver a familiar book-face structure while adding sharper, more dramatic contrast for emphasis and sophistication.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, giving the face a bright, high-end sparkle. The glyphs show careful consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a disciplined texture in paragraph settings.
