A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp hairline connections. The letterforms show bracketed, tapering serifs and a tight, disciplined rhythm, with prominent thick stems and very fine horizontals that create a bright, elegant sparkle. Uppercase proportions feel stately and carefully balanced, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-seriffed structure with compact bowls and clean joins. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and formal, with clear, sharp terminals and a consistent, editorial finish.
This face performs best in editorial headlines, magazine layouts, book and report titling, and brand identities that benefit from a classic, upscale presence. It can also suit formal collateral such as invitations or packaging where refined contrast and sharp detailing are intended to stand out, particularly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion-leaning elegance that reads as premium and composed. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing give it a dramatic, high-end feel suited to sophisticated messaging rather than casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-seriffed foundation with heightened refinement and display-ready contrast, balancing traditional proportions with a more dramatic, contemporary editorial sheen.
At text sizes the hairlines and thin serifs become a defining feature, emphasizing a delicate, engraved-like texture across paragraphs. The design’s crisp terminals and pronounced thick–thin pattern create a distinctive typographic color that becomes especially striking in headlines and display settings.
