A high-contrast serif with a sculpted, display-forward build and crisp, bracketed serifs. Vertical stems are substantial while hairlines are notably thin, creating strong light–dark rhythm and sharp internal counters. The design keeps an upright posture with classical proportions, pointed joins, and tapered terminals that add bite to curves and diagonals. Overall spacing feels generous for a serif, supporting large sizes where the hairlines and flare details remain clear.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial applications where contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks, packaging, and book or album covers that benefit from a traditional-yet-dramatic serif voice. For long passages, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes with ample leading to keep the hairlines from visually clumping.
The tone is formal and editorial, with a polished, premium feel reminiscent of fashion, publishing, and institutional typography. Its dramatic contrast and crisp serifs communicate authority and refinement, leaning more ceremonial than casual. The texture on the page reads confident and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, combining traditional serif construction with a more theatrical, attention-grabbing texture. It emphasizes elegance and authority while retaining familiar, readable letterforms.
In text settings the contrast produces a lively stripe pattern, especially across capitals and round letters, while the lowercase maintains a steady baseline and clear differentiation between forms. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and read as sturdy, classic figures suited to typographic emphasis rather than neutral UI use.
