A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to heavy stems, producing crisp joins and a strong black-on-white presence in headlines and short text. The capitals feel stately and compact with wedge-like finishing strokes, while the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with rounded bowls and occasional ball-like terminals, creating a lively but controlled rhythm. Numerals and punctuation match the same contrast and serif treatment, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
Best suited to headlines, magazine features, book or chapter titles, and display settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice, especially when set with generous size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion sharpness. Its strong contrast and refined detailing convey formality and authority, suggesting a classic print sensibility with a touch of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventional serif voice with heightened contrast for impact and elegance. Its disciplined structure and crisp finishing suggest a focus on editorial hierarchy—commanding titles and pull quotes that read as refined and confident.
In the sample text, the tight interior spaces and thin hairlines heighten the elegance but also make spacing and word shapes feel dense at smaller sizes. The italic is not shown; the presented style reads as a crisp, upright roman with pronounced stroke modulation and disciplined serif endings.
