This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and crisp, finely bracketed serifs. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, vertical stress and tapered terminals, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-face structure with compact counters and a measured x-height. Curves (C, G, O, S) show smooth, high-contrast swelling, and the rhythm reads tight and orderly due to condensed proportions and firm spacing. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight, chiseled stems with delicate hairlines and small, precise serifs.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and premium brand identities that benefit from a classic, refined voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking classic publishing and luxury branding. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a slightly theatrical, high-fashion edge in display settings.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif, balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more dramatic stroke contrast for strong typographic hierarchy in editorial and branding contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp internal joins become a defining feature, giving the text a crisp, engraved feel. In paragraphs the narrow set and strong contrast create a dense, vertical texture that emphasizes hierarchy and punchy headlines.
