A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and tapered, bracketed serifs that give strokes a sharpened, engraved feel. The letterforms show a distinctly vertical stress and a disciplined, upright posture, with generous proportions and open counters that keep large text clear. Curves and diagonals end in fine points or thin terminals, and the overall rhythm alternates thick stems with very thin connecting strokes for a polished, dramatic texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and cultural publishing, and brand moments where an elegant serif presence is needed. It can also work for book covers and section titling, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines and serif finesse remain crisp.
The tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and prestige. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing create a poised, upscale voice suited to sophisticated typography rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif structure while adding heightened contrast and refined detailing for a more premium, editorial look. It balances familiar proportions with sharper finishing to create impact without abandoning traditional text-serifs cues.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle across lines, especially in round letters and capitals. The numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with delicate details that will visually reward larger sizes where hairlines have room to breathe.
