A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and very thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharply cut with minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and proportioned for display with strong thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase maintains clear, traditional constructions with compact joins and tight counters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with delicate terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads cleanly at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book jackets where high contrast can add drama and hierarchy. It also fits formal applications such as invitations, certificates, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, premium tone. In body copy it will be most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, evoking book typography, fashion/editorial settings, and formal publishing. Its sharp hairlines and polished contrast lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the familiar classical structures keep it grounded and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-contrast reading and display voice: familiar serif proportions paired with crisp, delicate finishing. Its emphasis on sharp hairlines and vertical stress suggests a goal of elegance and typographic sophistication rather than rugged, low-resolution utility.
The rhythm is driven by strong verticals and narrow hairline connections, producing a bright texture with noticeable sparkle in text. The design’s crisp details and thin serifs suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions can preserve fine strokes.
