A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairline terminals, and bracketed serifs that stay crisp at larger sizes. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in posture, with strong vertical emphasis and clean, tapered entry strokes. Lowercase forms are compact and structured, with a two-storey “g,” a sturdy “a,” and narrow apertures that reinforce a refined rhythm. Numerals mirror the same contrast and verticality, with sculpted curves and thin connecting strokes.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial design, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and display typography where high contrast can shine. It can also support upscale branding and formal stationery when used at moderate-to-large sizes with careful spacing.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward a bookish, editorial elegance rather than a casual or contemporary feel. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions communicate formality, sophistication, and a sense of established authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classical reading of a modern high-contrast serif—prioritizing elegance, crisp detail, and a dignified typographic presence for display-forward text.
In the text sample the hairlines and joins read particularly delicate, creating a bright, sparkling texture and a slightly dramatic color on the page. The tight counters and strong stroke contrast suggest it will look most convincing when given adequate size and spacing rather than being pushed into very small settings.
