A high-contrast serif with robust vertical stems and very thin connecting strokes, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and refined, with a mix of bracketed joins and pointed, beak-like terminals that give edges a clean snap. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with a slightly condensed internal spacing in many letters and strong black-and-white patterning in text. Lowercase forms show a traditional, bookish construction with pronounced terminals and a compact, sturdy feel, while figures are bold and display-oriented with clear contrast and assertive silhouettes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display applications where high contrast and sharp serif details can be appreciated. It can support upscale branding and packaging when used with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the thin strokes.
The font reads as classic and editorial, with a polished, high-end tone that suggests tradition and authority. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add a dramatic, fashion-forward edge while remaining firmly rooted in conventional serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: elegant and authoritative, with heightened contrast and crisp terminals for striking editorial impact.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed terminals become a key feature, producing a refined sparkle in headlines. In dense settings the strong contrast and tight counters create a punchy texture that favors confident, statement-making typography over quiet neutrality.
