A high-contrast serif with crisp, pointed serifs and strongly modulated strokes that create a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smooth and taut, with oval counters and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel in joins and terminals. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, while lowercase forms keep a measured, traditional proportion with clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and apertures. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, mixing sturdy verticals with hairline links and sharp finishing details.
Well suited to editorial typography where contrast and refined detail are desirable, such as magazine headlines, feature titles, and pull quotes. It can also support book covers and premium branding where a classic serif presence with extra sharpness helps establish a sophisticated tone.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an elegant, fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and crisp terminals give it a confident, premium voice that feels formal and deliberate rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and crisp finishing, aiming for a refined, editorial look that reads as both classical and visually striking in prominent settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, lending sparkle and precision. The lettershapes maintain a consistent, classical structure, while the contrast and pointed details add a more dramatic, display-leaning edge.
