A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, built from sturdy main stems and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often wedge-like, and the joins feel crisp with minimal bracketing. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with generous interior space, while lowercase shows a moderate x-height and lively modulation, with noticeably changing character widths across the alphabet. Curves are smooth but taut, and diagonals (such as in V, W, and X) taper into thin, precise terminals that heighten the crisp, formal rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, and brand identities where refinement and contrast are assets. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, especially in generous sizes and comfortable leading, where the hairlines and serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion-and-editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing suggest elegance and ceremony, lending text a sense of prestige and traditional gravitas.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif voice: formal proportions, strong vertical emphasis, and dramatic stroke modulation optimized for elegant display and editorial settings.
At smaller sizes the thinnest strokes and hairline serifs may visually recede, while at display sizes the contrast and sharp finishing become a defining feature. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with clear modulation and strong vertical emphasis.
