This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical axis. Thick stems pair with hairline joins and terminals, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Counters are relatively generous for a contrasty design, while curves and joins show sharp, well-defined transitions; several lowercase forms incorporate small ball terminals (notably on letters like a, c, f, and j). Proportions lean broad in many capitals and round letters, with clear stroke modulation and clean, upright alignment.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast and sharp serifs can be showcased. It can also work for elegant branding and packaging, and for book or magazine titles where a classic, authoritative voice is desired; for smaller sizes, generous spacing and careful reproduction help preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking traditional book and magazine typography with a more dramatic, fashion-leaning contrast. It reads as refined and slightly theatrical rather than casual, projecting seriousness and prestige in headlines and short text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading impression with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, giving familiar text-serifs a more pronounced, high-fashion editorial presence. It prioritizes strong vertical emphasis, clean serif structure, and a confident rhythm for impactful typography.
The sample text shows strong page color at larger sizes, with hairlines that can visually recede next to the heavy verticals. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the capitals’ weight and presence. The ampersand is bold and compact, aligning with the typeface’s assertive rhythm.
