A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and robust vertical stems, producing a distinctly vertical, crisp rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with pointed terminals and clean joins that keep counters open even at bold display sizes. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, while capitals read stately and slightly condensed in presence, supporting a strong typographic hierarchy. The numerals follow the same contrasty model, with delicate curves and clear, sculpted forms.
Best used for headlines, deck copy, and large-scale typography where its contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It suits magazine and editorial design, book covers, and premium branding or packaging that calls for a classic, polished serif voice. It can work for short text passages, but the strong contrast suggests a preference for comfortable sizes and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, leaning toward classic luxury and formal publishing. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel suited to premium, curated contexts rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for sophisticated display typography that still retains a readable, bookish structure. It aims to balance classic proportions with a sharper, more fashion-forward finish, delivering strong hierarchy and a refined printed feel.
In text, the face creates pronounced light–dark striping typical of contrasty modern serifs; this gives strong impact at larger sizes and can feel intense in dense settings. Rounded letters like C, G, O, and Q show smooth, controlled curvature, while letters such as S and a display crisp, calligraphic-like modulation without becoming ornate. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
