A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are finely bracketed and often knife-like, giving joins a crisp, sculpted feel. Bowls and counters read as tight and elegant, while vertical stems carry most of the visual weight, producing a strong, stately rhythm in text. Capitals are sturdy and formal, and the numerals share the same chiseled, display-oriented contrast and refined finishing.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and sharp finishing can contribute character and hierarchy. It also fits premium branding, invitations, and book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic serif voice with modern crispness.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and luxury-leaning character. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing evoke fashion, culture, and premium publishing contexts rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and meticulously finished terminals, aiming for a sophisticated, high-impact reading color in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text the weight and contrast create dark, confident paragraphs with clear vertical cadence; the sharp terminals and compact inner spaces add a refined edge. The design’s sculptural detailing becomes especially prominent at larger sizes, where the tapered endings and bracket transitions are most noticeable.
