A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and finely proportioned, with a mix of wedge-like terminals and delicate brackets that keep the joins clean at display sizes. Capitals feel expansive and poised, with generous widths and open counters, while lowercase forms maintain a steady text rhythm with a relatively modest x-height and prominent ascenders. Overall spacing reads deliberate and slightly airy, supporting a polished, print-forward texture in longer lines.
Best suited to editorial design, headlines, and large-size typography where the contrast and fine detailing can read clearly. It fits magazine layouts, book and journal covers, and premium brand identities that want a classic, high-end serif voice. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is elegant and formal, leaning toward fashion and literary sophistication rather than utilitarian neutrality. Its pronounced contrast and refined detailing suggest a premium, cultivated voice—confident, stately, and distinctly editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-end text serif aesthetic with modern crispness—prioritizing elegance, vertical emphasis, and refined contrast for impactful reading and display use in editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the hairline connections and thin horizontals become a defining visual feature, creating a bright, sparkling line. The numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and sharp finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, classic typographic color across mixed content.
