A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and full, rounded bowls that create a sculpted, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are finely bracketed and crisp, with a consistent vertical stress and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. The uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in their round letters, while the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a double-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and crisp terminals on f, t, and y. Numerals are similarly contrasty and bookish, with clear old-style influence in the curves and finishing details.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, section openers, and pull quotes where the contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a classic, upscale serif presence, particularly at larger sizes or in high-quality print.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial sophistication associated with literature, luxury publishing, and cultural institutions. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast give it a poised, high-end voice that feels confident and formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional high-contrast text serif, emphasizing crisp refinement, classic proportions, and strong typographic color for editorial hierarchy. Its details suggest a focus on elegance and authority rather than neutrality.
In text, the strong contrast produces a lively shimmer, especially where vertical stems repeat, while the thin cross-strokes and hairline joins add a delicate sparkle at larger sizes. Counters remain open and well-shaped, and the design relies on clean, precise finishing rather than decorative flourishes for its personality.
