This serif displays striking thick–thin modulation with a predominantly vertical stress: broad, weighty stems are paired with very fine hairlines and sharp, tapered serifs. The overall build is expansive, with generous letter widths and open internal spaces, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled, creating a polished, sculptural silhouette. Serifs read as crisp and minimally bracketed, and terminals often finish in pointed or wedge-like forms that heighten the contrast. Lowercase forms keep a steady, traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between rounded and straight-sided shapes; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with prominent verticals and delicate connections.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, feature opens, posters, and book covers, where the high-contrast hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes large enough to preserve its delicate thin strokes.
The tone is assertive and elegant, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, headline-ready drama. The extreme contrast and crisp detailing lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for high-end and editorial contexts where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice that feels authoritative yet refined, prioritizing dramatic stroke modulation and crisp serif detailing for impact in display and editorial use.
In text settings the heavy verticals create a dark, confident color, while the hairlines and thin serifs add sparkle and refinement. The design’s emphasis on contrast and width favors larger sizes, where the fine details and sculpted joins remain clearly visible.
