A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are robust and vertical while cross-strokes and serifs taper to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are sharp and relatively unbracketed, and several forms show round/teardrop terminals (notably in lowercase like a, c, f, j, and y). The uppercase is broad and steady with strong straight-sided structure, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable rhythm with a moderate x-height and clean apertures; numerals follow the same contrasty, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, posters, and book or album covers. It can also serve as a strong branding face for premium packaging or hospitality identities where a classic, high-contrast serif is desired.
The font projects a formal, upscale tone with a strong editorial voice. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing cues suggest prestige, ceremony, and a slightly theatrical sophistication rather than casual neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-contrast serif look that balances classical proportions with crisp, fashion-forward detailing. It emphasizes impact and elegance through strong vertical strokes, fine hairlines, and refined terminals.
At text sizes the hairline details and thin joins can visually recede, so the design reads most convincingly where its contrast and sharp terminals have room to resolve. The overall color is dark and confident, with lively punctuation and a distinctive, slightly calligraphic flavor in select lowercase terminals.
