A sculpted high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, pointed serifs that often read as wedge-like or triangular. The letterforms feel tightly drawn and vertical, with sturdy stems, narrow hairlines, and sharp apexes on diagonals. Counters are compact and the joins are clean, creating a dense, inky texture at display sizes. Lowercase forms show clear traditional structure with a modest x-height, distinct ball/teardrop terminals in places, and a slightly calligraphic tension in strokes without becoming overtly italicized.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and book cover typography, and brand marks that need a bold, refined serif presence. It can also work for short subheads or titling where strong contrast and sharp detail are meant to be seen; for extended small-size text, the fine hairlines may require careful sizing and reproduction.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, projecting confidence and formality. Its sharp serifs and stark contrast lend a refined, luxe feel, while the heavy presence gives it an assertive, headline-forward voice. The mood sits comfortably in classic publishing aesthetics with a contemporary crispness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with heightened sharpness and weight for modern display use. It prioritizes impact and elegance through crisp serifs, compact counters, and dramatic stroke modulation.
Spacing and rhythm create a strong, poster-like color, especially in mixed-case settings. Numerals and capitals appear designed to hold their own in large sizes, with clear silhouettes and emphatic serifs that reinforce a carved, engraved impression.
