A high-contrast serif with tall capitals, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, knife-like serifs. Stems read as sturdy and vertical while joins and terminals taper quickly into fine points, creating a strongly sculpted, engraved look. The letterforms feel relatively open and generously proportioned, with clear counters and a steady baseline; spacing appears comfortable in display settings. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with curving figures showing strong modulation and sharp finishing details.
Best suited for display typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, book and album covers, posters, and upscale branding. It can work for short pull quotes or deck lines, but its delicate hairlines suggest using ample size and good printing or screen rendering for best results.
The overall tone is formal and commanding, with a polished, editorial confidence. Its sharp transitions and gleaming hairlines lend a sense of drama and luxury, while the traditional proportions keep it anchored in a classic, bookish sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a bold, contemporary presence—balancing traditional vertical-stress construction with crisp, attention-grabbing sharpness for editorial and branding use.
In the sample text, the bold strokes and fine hairlines create a vivid sparkle at larger sizes, with standout forms like the round letters and the uppercase Q emphasizing the font’s theatrical contrast. The serif treatment stays consistent across cases, giving headings a cohesive, stately rhythm.
