A sharply contrasted serif with prominent vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, creating a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are small and mostly unbracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that emphasize a vertical, formal rhythm. Proportions are on the wide side, with broad capitals and rounded letters that show narrow interior apertures in places, especially in bowls and numerals. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a compact, weighty texture, while details like ball terminals and teardrop-like joins add a slightly ornamental finish without becoming script-like.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short passages where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It fits magazine mastheads, fashion/editorial layouts, premium packaging, and branding systems that want a classic serif with a dramatic, high-end edge.
The overall tone is formal and high-impact, pairing a classic editorial polish with a dramatic, display-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and refined hairlines read as upscale and theatrical, suited to premium branding and statement typography.
Likely designed as a statement serif that amplifies contrast and vertical stress for elegant, attention-grabbing display typography. The combination of crisp hairlines, wedge serifs, and occasional ornamental terminals points to an intention of delivering a refined, luxurious voice rather than a neutral text workhorse.
The sample text shows strong word-shape and a commanding typographic color at larger sizes, while the finest strokes and tight counters suggest it will look best with generous size, careful tracking, and clean output. Numerals and round forms carry an engraved/inline-like feeling through the way thick strokes dominate and thin strokes carve into the shapes.
