A sharply contrasted serif with a dark, authoritative color and crisp detailing. Thick vertical stems are paired with extremely thin hairlines and delicate crossbars, producing a pronounced vertical rhythm and clear stress. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a precise, chiseled finish. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while lowercase forms show compact bowls and a relatively high waist, with distinct, narrow joins and tight apertures in letters like e and a. Figures follow the same logic, mixing strong main strokes with hairline curves for a sculptural, display-forward texture.
Best used where strong typographic contrast is meant to be seen—magazine headlines, editorial decks, book and album covers, posters, and refined branding moments. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers in print-like layouts when set with generous size and comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its extreme stroke modulation and sharp finishing cues a classical, print-minded seriousness—suited to sophisticated, high-impact typography rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with maximum drama and clarity, pairing traditional proportions with razor-fine detailing for statement-making typography in titles and display settings.
Contrast-driven details make spacing and size important: at smaller sizes, hairlines and fine serifs may visually recede, while at larger sizes the crisp joins, pointed terminals, and dramatic thick–thin transitions become the main character. The set includes a mix of rounded and angular constructions (notably in S, J, and the numerals), which adds liveliness without breaking the formal, traditional voice.
