A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The letterforms feel broad and generously spaced, with open counters and a steady upright stance. Serifs are mostly bracketed yet sharp, and many strokes terminate in pointed, calligraphic-looking wedges that heighten the contrast. Uppercase shapes are stately and clean, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with compact joins, a two-storey "g" with a prominent ear, and a slender, high-contrast "t" with a delicate crossbar.
This font is well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes where its contrast and fine serifs can shine. It also fits luxury branding applications such as packaging, beauty and fashion identities, and refined book or report titling. For longer passages, it will perform best when given comfortable size and spacing to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting luxury and formality through its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing. It reads as classic and authoritative, with a fashion-forward edge that comes from the sharp terminals and wide, airy proportions.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on conventional text serifs by combining classic proportions with heightened contrast and crisp finishing. Its wide set and elegant detailing suggest a focus on sophisticated display and editorial settings where clarity and prestige are central.
The numerals are similarly high-contrast and elegant, with clear old-style influence in curvature and detailing. In text, the combination of wide forms and strong contrast creates a bright page color and a pronounced rhythm, especially noticeable in rounded letters and diagonal strokes.
