This serif shows sharply cut, bracketed serifs and a distinctly sculpted, high-contrast stroke model. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals snap to crisp points, creating a polished black-on-white rhythm in display sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned with moderate width, while the lowercase introduces lively details such as ball terminals (notably on f) and pronounced beaks and ears that add texture. Figures are similarly bold and formal, with strong vertical stress and refined hairlines that require sufficient size and spacing to stay clear.
Best suited to headlines, deck lines, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly. It can also serve premium branding needs—logotypes, packaging, and invitations—especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text and given adequate whitespace.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with fashion-magazine glamour. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing give it a luxe, high-impact voice suited to confident, headline-forward typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, impact, and crisp reproduction in display typography while retaining conventional serif structure for familiar readability.
The design emphasizes verticality and crisp edges, so small counters and thin hairlines can visually recede at smaller sizes. In the samples, the weight and contrast create a dense, authoritative color that benefits from generous leading and careful tracking in longer settings.
