A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, vertical stress, and very fine hairline serifs. The proportions read slightly expanded, with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm. Serifs are crisp and minimally bracketed, and many joins resolve into sharp, clean terminals that heighten the engraved, cut-metal impression. Uppercase forms feel stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable skeleton with compact, tidy details (notably on a, e, and t) and clear differentiation across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can work for editorial typography such as magazine features or book-cover titling, and for formal brand materials where a classic, premium impression is desired.
The tone is confident and elevated, projecting a polished, editorial voice. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing convey sophistication and a touch of theatricality, lending a premium, traditional character rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classical high-contrast serif voice with strong vertical emphasis and crisp detailing—optimized for impactful display typography that reads as elegant and authoritative.
Spacing appears even and controlled in text, with strong vertical emphasis created by the heavy stems against hairline horizontals. Numerals share the same high-contrast logic, reading bold and display-leaning, which reinforces the font’s assertive presence in headings and short runs.
