This typeface presents a high-contrast serif design with elegant hairlines and noticeably stronger verticals. Stems subtly widen into flared endings and bracketed serifs, giving the strokes a sculpted, calligraphic feel while maintaining an upright, controlled posture. Capitals are crisp and formal with sharp apexes and refined curves, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly in text. Overall spacing and proportions feel balanced and bookish, with a clear hierarchy between thick and thin strokes that becomes especially pronounced at display sizes.
Well suited for headlines, deck type, and magazine layouts where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits book covers, title pages, and premium branding systems that want a classic, cultured impression, while remaining readable for short-to-medium text passages in print-oriented contexts.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing evoke fashion, culture magazines, and classic book typography, projecting confidence and sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with flared, calligraphic influences—combining classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish for editorial and brand-driven typography.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, mixing strong verticals with hairline transitions for a stately, print-forward texture. In the text sample, the face holds a consistent rhythm and maintains clarity while still emphasizing sparkle in the hairlines and serifs.
