This is a high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate rather than slab-like, with minimal bracketing and a generally crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and fairly open, while lowercase shows compact bowls and clear, clean joins; counters remain readable despite the thin connecting strokes. The overall color on the page is lively, with a strong thick–thin rhythm and slightly uneven widths across letters that adds a classical, text-face cadence rather than a rigidly uniform texture.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and titles where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits book covers, formal invitations, and premium brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The font projects a refined, formal tone associated with traditional publishing and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and hairline details feel polished and authoritative, with a subtle vintage/bookish character that reads as classic rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classical, high-contrast serif—prioritizing elegance, strong typographic hierarchy, and a refined page presence through hairline detailing and vertical stress.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs create a crisp, sparkling texture; at smaller sizes those details may become visually delicate. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, pairing sturdy verticals with thin connecting strokes for a cohesive, editorial look.
