A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, giving letters a chiseled, sculptural presence. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals, producing crisp finishes on both capitals and lowercase. Curves are tightly controlled with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, and counters remain clean and open despite the dense stroke weight. The overall rhythm feels assertive and display-leaning, with sturdy capitals and lively lowercase details (notably the ear, beaks, and hooked terminals) that add texture without becoming ornamental.
This face is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp terminals can shine. It fits editorial and magazine design, luxury branding systems, and premium packaging where a classic-but-dramatic serif voice is desired. For extended reading, it will benefit from comfortable point sizes and thoughtful tracking and leading.
The tone is polished and authoritative, combining classic bookish manners with a dramatic, couture-like edge. Strong contrast and sharp terminals create a sense of luxury and intensity, suited to statements that want to feel premium and decisive rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing, creating a refined display voice that still retains familiar text-serif proportions. Its sculpted terminals and strong vertical emphasis suggest an aim toward elegant impact in contemporary editorial and brand settings.
The figures read as oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable modulation and elegant curves, matching the text’s refined contrast. In longer sample lines, the font maintains clarity but the sharp hairlines and dense stems make it feel most at home at larger sizes or with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
