A high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals, hairline-thin connecting strokes, and pronounced bracketed serifs that often widen into subtly flared endings. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in places, with crisp, triangular apexes (notably in A and V) and generous inner counters in rounds like O and Q. Curves show a vertical stress and a smooth, sculpted modulation, while terminals and joins create small teardrop-like shapes that add weight and rhythm. Overall spacing reads steady and print-oriented, with strong color in words and clear differentiation between stems and hairlines.
Best suited to display applications where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated: magazine and editorial headlines, book covers, posters, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes in print-oriented layouts, but it will shine most when given room and size to preserve its hairlines and delicate joins.
The tone is formal and editorial, with a theatrical, fashion-like refinement. Its sharp contrast and sculpted serifs convey tradition, confidence, and a touch of luxury, making it feel at home in curated, high-attention settings rather than utilitarian interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and expressive, flared finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a bold, attention-grabbing rhythm. It prioritizes sophistication and impact, aiming for a refined display texture that still feels rooted in familiar serif conventions.
Uppercase forms project a monumental, poster-friendly presence, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-face structure with a double-storey a and compact, weighty bowls. Numerals are equally contrasty and stylized, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp finishing details that echo the letterforms.
