A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm on the page. Serifs are bracketed and taper to fine points, and the joins often show a subtle calligraphic modulation rather than purely geometric construction. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with generous counters (notably in C, G, O) and a pronounced stress. The lowercase pairs a relatively modest x-height with lively terminals and a distinctive two-storey g, while numerals and punctuation follow the same thin-thick logic and delicate finishing.
Works especially well for editorial typography, magazine display, and book covers where high-contrast detail can shine. It is also a strong choice for formal invitations, branding wordmarks, and section heads that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining classical bookish manners with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. It reads as confident and cultivated, suited to settings where contrast and refinement are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, upscale reading and display experience, emphasizing elegant contrast, sharp finishing, and a composed serif structure that feels at home in contemporary publishing.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs contribute a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. Curved letters show smooth, controlled swelling and tapered endings, and the design maintains a consistent, formal rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
