A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling, vertical stress, and very fine hairline connections. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, producing crisp terminals and strong horizontal accents. Capitals are tall and stately with a slightly compressed, columnar rhythm, while lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish structure; the overall color is dark and emphatic in text because the thick stems dominate against the delicate joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and refined finishing, with curving forms showing prominent swelling into thin entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and hairlines remain clear. It also works for refined editorial and book-cover typography, and for premium brand marks or packaging where a classic, high-contrast serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and authoritative with a polished, high-end feel. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing lend drama and elegance, reading as editorial and literary rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif model—prioritizing elegance, sharp detailing, and a commanding vertical rhythm for editorial and display typography.
Spacing appears measured and text forms lock into a steady, vertical cadence, but the hairlines and thin serifs become visually fragile as sizes decrease. The design favors strong headline presence and refined typographic hierarchy where contrast can be appreciated.
