A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The overall construction is upright and relatively narrow in feel, with firm vertical stems and smooth, calligraphic curves that show clear vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharply defined, often lightly bracketed, and terminals on letters like C, G, and S taper to delicate points. The lowercase shows moderate x-height with compact bowls, and the numerals and capitals keep a stately rhythm with carefully controlled proportions and spacing.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for display uses—headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments—where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. For long-form reading, it will perform best when set at comfortable sizes with sufficient leading.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and contemporary magazine styling. Its sharp contrasts and fine detailing feel sophisticated and formal, with a sense of heritage rather than informality or utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading serif with an editorial sensibility—balancing traditional proportions with crisp modern finishing. It prioritizes elegance and typographic color over ruggedness, aiming for a clean, premium look in print-like settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins read as distinctly luxurious; in smaller settings, the fine serifs and extreme contrast may require generous size, good printing, or high-resolution rendering to maintain clarity. The sample text shows an even, well-paced texture with a noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes and sharp terminals.
