A high-contrast serif with thick, weighty stems and hairline-thin connecting strokes that produce a crisp, engraved look at display sizes. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharply tapered, with pointed terminals that add snap to horizontals and diagonals. The uppercase shows sturdy vertical emphasis and generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book face structure with a two-storey a and g, compact apertures, and pronounced stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrast and serifing, with elegant curves and narrow joins that reinforce a refined, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can work for magazine and book-cover titling, cultural posters, and branding that benefits from a traditional yet striking serif presence. For long passages, it is likely to perform best when set at comfortable sizes with adequate leading to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and a slightly theatrical sophistication. The strong contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the conventional skeleton keeps it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharper finishing, aiming for a premium, print-like voice in display and editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and joins read as deliberate, giving the face a chiseled, high-end character; at smaller sizes those delicate strokes may require careful size and reproduction settings. The rhythm is lively due to the pronounced thick–thin modulation and pointed terminals, which adds sparkle in headlines and pull quotes.
