A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, strong vertical stems, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that sharpen to fine points. The forms are upright and fairly classical in construction, with a compact, controlled rhythm and carefully tapered terminals. Counters are generous in round letters, while joins and brackets add a subtly calligraphic modulation. Numerals and capitals read clean and stately, and the lowercase shows a balanced, bookish texture with a slightly pronounced vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and sophisticated long-form typography where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast also makes it effective for display sizes—titles, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks—where its sharp serifs and elegant modulation can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and editorial, with an understated luxury that feels at home in traditional publishing and formal branding. Its sharp contrasts and fine detailing communicate sophistication and a sense of heritage without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and finely drawn details, bridging robust text structure with a more fashion-forward, editorial sparkle. It prioritizes clarity and tradition while using hairline refinement to add authority and polish.
In text, the thin horizontals and delicate serifs contribute to a bright, refined color, while the heavier verticals anchor lines firmly. The italic is not shown, but the roman’s tapering strokes and bracketed serifs give it a subtly hand-influenced finish that remains disciplined and conventional.
