A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairlines. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a sculpted, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and wide with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and a traditional, bookish construction. Overall spacing reads generous and the rhythm alternates between heavy stems and fine connecting strokes, creating a bright, polished texture in text and an assertive silhouette in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and editorial typography where contrast and elegance are beneficial. It can also work for pull quotes, chapter openers, and cover typography, especially in larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp serifs remain clear.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal presence that feels suited to refined print traditions. Its dramatic contrast and crisp terminals add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the conventional letterforms keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with elevated contrast for impact, combining conventional proportions with a polished, fashion-forward sharpness that reads as premium and print-oriented.
The numerals share the same contrast and sharp serif treatment, with strong verticals and delicate inner joins. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) emphasize a clean stress and smooth continuity, while diagonals (V, W, Y, K) maintain a chiselled, high-contrast look that stays consistent across the set.
