A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The construction leans on vertical stems and sharp terminals, producing a clean, engraved feel and a steady baseline rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase keeps a conventional text proportion with compact bowls and clear apertures. Numerals and capitals read with a display-like intensity due to the fine horizontals and delicate joins, yet overall spacing remains orderly and balanced across the set.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine and book titling, and brand systems that want a premium, classic voice. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and larger text settings where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and formal, with a fashion and publishing sensibility that feels premium and composed. The strong contrast and fine details add drama and sophistication, suggesting luxury and tradition without appearing ornamental or playful.
The design intent appears to be a modern, high-contrast serif optimized for an elegant editorial presence—combining traditional proportions with sharpened detailing to deliver clarity, prestige, and visual drama in display and headline contexts.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and serifs become notably delicate at larger sizes, emphasizing sharpness and refinement; this also makes the design feel most at home where printing or rendering can preserve the hairline details. Round letters (like O/C) show a controlled, slightly vertical stress, and punctuation maintains the same crisp, minimal character.
