A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline joins and sharp beak-like details on several characters, giving the outlines a sculpted, engraved feel. Proportions run broadly across the set, with wide caps and generous curves (notably in C/O/Q), while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with sturdy vertical stems and compact bowls. Curves are smooth and full, counters are open, and the overall silhouette reads dark and assertive at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale editorial typography, and brand applications where strong contrast and a dark typographic color are advantages. It can also work for short pull quotes, deck heads, and luxury-leaning packaging, while extended small-size text would need careful size/spacing to preserve fine hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a distinctly editorial, high-end flavor. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing evoke classic print typography while still feeling polished and contemporary for branding-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast take on conventional serif forms: wide, confident shapes paired with sharp, refined detailing for impactful display typography that still carries traditional typographic cues.
The italic is not shown; the available forms emphasize upright structure, strong vertical stress, and lively finishing strokes (e.g., the Q tail and angled terminals on letters like a/c/f). Numerals appear lining-style with similarly high contrast and pronounced serifs, matching the uppercase color and presence.
