A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, sturdy main stems, and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves show a vertical, calligraphic stress and a smooth, controlled modulation from thick to thin, giving counters a polished, open feel. Proportions are fairly classical with moderate extenders and a balanced rhythm; capitals are stately without feeling overly wide, while lowercase forms maintain a clear reading texture. Numerals and punctuation match the same crisp contrast and refined finishing, keeping the overall color even in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, essays, and refined long-form settings where a crisp, elegant texture is desired. It also fits display applications like book and article titles, luxury branding, packaging, and formal stationery where high contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased.
The design reads as formal and cultivated, with a fashion-and-editorial kind of polish. Its crisp contrast and delicate terminals convey sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or casualness, making it feel premium and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that brings a contemporary crispness to classic proportions. Its carefully tapered hairlines and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on elegant reading rhythm and premium presentation in both text and headline use.
In the text sample, the thin strokes remain very fine and the joins stay clean, reinforcing a precise, print-forward impression. Round letters and diagonals (like O/V/W) show pronounced contrast, which heightens the sense of finesse and makes the face most at home when given adequate size and spacing.
