A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in sturdy verticals. Serifs are bracketed and often subtly flared, giving terminals a slightly sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than a purely rational cut. Counters are fairly open, curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm reads as formal and measured with confident thick–thin transitions. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with prominent stems and delicate linking strokes that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, magazine titling, and book or album covers where its contrast and refined serifs can show. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a classic, print-forward voice, and works well for short passages set at comfortable sizes with generous spacing.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining polish with a hint of theatrical contrast. It suggests literary authority and premium print craft—suited to brands or layouts that want refinement without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs: authoritative, elegant, and highly legible at display scales, with flared, bracketed finishing that adds warmth and sophistication. It prioritizes crisp typographic color and a poised editorial presence.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) show strong internal shaping and clean joins, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) maintain sharp apexes and tight, elegant hairlines. Lowercase forms feel bookish and traditional, with a sturdy, two-storey structure where expected and small details that read as carefully finished rather than blunt.
