A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and sharply tapered serifs paired to sturdier vertical stems, producing a distinctly engraved, dressy texture. Letterforms show a controlled, vertical stress with crisp joins and finely cut terminals; curves are smooth and tightly drawn, and the serifs read as narrow wedges rather than heavy brackets. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in rhythm, with generous counters and a measured, bookish cadence in running text. Numerals and capitals carry the same thin–thick modulation and clean finishing, keeping the overall color bright and precise.
Well suited to magazine typography, display and headline work, book covers, and premium branding where sharp contrast and finely finished serifs communicate craft. It also fits formal materials such as invitations and certificates, and can work for pull quotes or short editorial blocks where the delicate hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and elevated, leaning toward luxury editorial and classical literature rather than utilitarian text. Its razor-thin details and poised contrast convey sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of curated refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional proportions and stress combined with pronounced contrast and precise, tapered serifs for a premium, editorial look. It prioritizes elegance and visual snap in display and headline settings while maintaining conventional text-serif familiarity in its underlying structure.
In larger settings the hairlines and pointed serifs become a key stylistic feature, while at smaller sizes the design reads best with comfortable spacing and good reproduction to preserve the delicate strokes. The italics are not shown; the displayed style emphasizes clarity and formality through upright structure and consistent, crisp finishing.
