A high-contrast serif with emphatic thick verticals and fine hairline serifs, creating a crisp, ink-trap-free silhouette that reads sharply at display sizes. Serifs are refined and mostly bracketed, with wedge-like joins and occasional teardrop/ball terminals in the lowercase, giving the forms a sculpted, calligraphic finish without becoming ornate. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stable with generous interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm and a moderate x-height, supporting strong word shapes. Numerals match the headline-forward tone, with bold stems and elegant, tapered details.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with dramatic emphasis. For long text, it will be most comfortable at sizes and printing conditions that preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, balancing traditional bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward contrast. It conveys authority and polish—suited to messaging that wants to feel established, premium, and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading structure while amplifying contrast and width for impact in display settings. The mix of sharp hairlines, bracketed serifs, and sculpted terminals suggests a goal of combining classical book typography cues with contemporary editorial punch.
Stroke modulation is pronounced, so fine details like hairlines, crossbars, and terminals become a key part of the texture in paragraphs and headlines. The spacing and open counters help keep the dense weight from feeling clogged, especially in round letters and in pairs like "rn" and "cl".
