A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often reading as small wedges, while many joins resolve into pointed terminals that heighten the engraved feel. The texture is dark and commanding in text, with narrow interior counters and a slightly compressed, sculpted look to curves. Details like ball terminals and pointed beaks appear throughout, giving the letterforms a distinctive, stylized refinement rather than a purely neutral book face.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand statements where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can work for short text in larger sizes—such as subheads, pull quotes, and packaging copy—where a polished, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, combining classic editorial authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and pointed detailing communicate sophistication and formality, with a hint of vintage display glamour.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance and impact over neutrality. Its sharpened terminals and hairline serifs suggest a focus on display and editorial settings where a distinctive, luxurious tone is beneficial.
Round letters show a pronounced vertical stress, and the type’s rhythm alternates between sturdy stems and delicate hairlines, creating lively sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals share the same high-contrast, stylized construction, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive across letters and figures.
