This serif shows pronounced hairline-to-stem contrast with a strongly vertical axis and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition sharply from thick mains to delicate connecting lines, giving letters a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions are compact with tall capitals and a steady, controlled rhythm; round forms are taut and oval, and curves resolve into pointed terminals in places. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin joins and prominent verticals that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
Well-suited for magazine headlines, editorial titling, and brand identities that need a premium, classic tone. It can work for short to medium text in print-oriented contexts where its fine hairlines and contrast can be preserved, and it excels in large sizes for packaging, invitations, and sophisticated display typography.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its delicate hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and curated, lending an upscale, editorial voice rather than an informal or rugged one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast text serif—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with sharper, more dramatic contrast for an elegant, modern editorial presence.
In text, the strong contrast and fine horizontals create a lively shimmer on the line, while the relatively restrained italics/obliques (not shown) are not implied; the roman maintains a composed, upright stance. Spacing appears even and deliberate, with capitals designed to read cleanly in headlines while lowercase maintains a traditional, readable skeleton.
