A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic thick–thin rhythm. Stems and main curves carry substantial weight while hairlines stay very fine, creating crisp joins and bright internal counters. Uppercase forms feel stately and structured, while lowercase shows more modulation and lively stroke endings, with a single-storey “g” and compact, rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with elegant curves and pronounced terminals.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where its contrast and serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and refined branding. In body copy, it will perform most convincingly at comfortable sizes with sufficient leading to protect the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, leaning toward a classic, print-forward sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and pointed serifs give it a confident, slightly luxurious voice that reads as formal and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical text-serif model with dramatic contrast, crisp wedge serifs, and a polished page color. It prioritizes elegance and impact while maintaining familiar proportions and a conventional reading texture.
Spacing appears generous and the glyphs present a strong black–white pattern at text sizes, with thin horizontals that can become delicate in dense settings. Stroke endings are consistently sharp and tapered, reinforcing a crisp, engraved-like finish across letters and figures.
