A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with pointed terminals and occasional curved beak-like finishes on letters such as C, F, and T. The overall construction feels traditional and upright, with generous capitals and slightly varied widths that add a lively, composed rhythm. In the lowercase, round forms are compact and dark, and the numerals follow the same contrasty, sharp-serif logic, including an elegant, thin-stroked “4” and a curving “9.”
This face is well suited to headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and brand marks where its crisp contrast can be appreciated. It also works for formal invitations and upscale packaging typography, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful tracking.
The tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details read as premium and ceremonial, evoking classic book typography and high-end publishing.
The design appears intended as a modernized, high-contrast text serif for premium display and editorial use, balancing classical serif conventions with sharpened terminals and a strongly polished, print-like finish.
At display sizes the hairlines and fine serifs create a striking sparkle, while dense letterforms and strong vertical stress give headlines a confident, stately presence. The ampersand is bold and sculptural, leaning into the same engraved, high-contrast character as the rest of the set.
