A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. The serifs are sharp and delicate, with fine hairlines and minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions run on the broader side with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm; joins and curves stay smooth and controlled, and several lowercase forms show small ball or teardrop terminals. The overall color is elegant but not overly dark, with clear differentiation between main stems and hairlines across letters and numerals.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast can add sophistication. It can also work for book covers, cultural institutions, and premium branding when paired with ample size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is cultivated and traditional, projecting authority and polish. Its strong contrast and fine detailing evoke classic book typography and fashion/editorial display, reading as composed, upscale, and slightly dramatic rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic, high-contrast serif voice with an elevated, print-oriented character. By combining wide proportions, sharp serifs, and controlled curves, it emphasizes elegance and authority for display and editorial applications.
In text, the combination of wide proportions and short lowercase height makes capitals feel prominent, enhancing a headline-driven voice. Fine details (hairline serifs and thin connecting strokes) give it a premium look but also make it feel more at home at comfortable sizes than in tiny, low-contrast settings.
