A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, calligraphic feel and crisp, tapered terminals. Thick verticals pair with hairline joins and fine serifs, creating a strong light–dark rhythm and a distinctly engraved texture at larger sizes. Proportions feel classical with moderate-width caps and a slightly condensed impression in running text, while lowercase forms show lively shaping—single-storey a and g, a pointed, high-shouldered r, and sharp-angled joins on letters like v, w, and y. Numerals and capitals carry prominent top serifs and deep internal curves, giving the set a stately, print-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand marks where the high contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes, section openers, and elegant packaging or event materials, especially when set with generous spacing and at display sizes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing traditional bookish authority with fashion-led sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and elegant hairlines convey a premium, editorial voice that feels confident, formal, and attention-commanding.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, premium serif voice with strong contrast and sharp detailing, optimized to make statements in editorial and branding contexts while retaining familiar, conventional letterforms.
In dense settings the thin strokes and tight counters can visually close up, while at larger sizes the crisp serifs and dramatic stroke modulation read as intentional, high-end detailing. The punctuation and ampersand match the same sculpted contrast, supporting headline and titling use where nuance in the curves is visible.
