This serif shows sharply modeled letterforms with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, tapering serifs that often resolve into wedge-like tips. Curves are full and glossy, with narrow hairlines and heavier vertical strokes creating a strongly vertical rhythm. Capitals are stately and compact, while lowercase forms feel slightly rounded and sturdy, with a two-storey a and g and a tight, efficient texture in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, engraved logic, with open counters and pointed joins that keep large sizes looking precise.
It performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages of text in higher-quality settings, especially when given comfortable size and line spacing.
The overall tone is confident and elevated, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-leaning polish. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing give it a dramatic, headline-ready presence, while the underlying proportions still read as traditional and bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-end take on conventional text serifs, emphasizing sharp contrast and refined detailing for premium editorial impact. It balances classical structure with a more dramatic, contemporary finishing suitable for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the weight and contrast produce a dense, authoritative color; the hairlines add sparkle but can become delicate where sizes are small or reproduction is coarse. The design’s crisp terminals and tapered serifs make it especially striking on smooth printing or high-resolution screens.
