A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and hairline-thin connecting strokes, creating a crisp, carved look in text and display sizes. Serifs are bracketed yet sharply finished, with pointed beaks and wedge-like details that give corners a decisive snap. Round letters show a pronounced vertical stress and tight apertures, while the overall silhouette stays upright and steady. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy for the weight, with teardrop-like terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads as refined rather than ornate.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and prominent editorial settings where contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It also works well for brand wordmarks, event materials, and poster-style compositions that need a classic yet commanding serif presence.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish credibility with a dramatic, headline-ready punch. Its sharp serifs and extreme contrast convey formality and authority, while the lively modulation adds a sense of sophistication suited to cultural and fashion contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharper finishing, aiming for a premium, print-classic impression that performs especially well at larger sizes.
In the grid, many glyphs show crisp, angled finishing on strokes and serifs that lean toward pointed, beaked shapes rather than blunt cuts. The numerals appear similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and thin hairlines that emphasize a premium, print-oriented feel.
