A high-contrast serif with emphatic vertical stems and fine hairline horizontals that create a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and relatively unbracketed, with a mix of wedge-like and flat treatments, giving strokes a distinctly cut, chiseled finish. The capitals are broad and stately with strong internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a steady, bookish structure with compact apertures and clear stroke modulation. Overall spacing reads slightly open at display sizes, and the texture alternates between heavy stems and delicate connecting strokes for a lively, shimmering page color.
Best suited for headlines, titling, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where high contrast and sharp serifs can read as intentional refinement. It can also work for book and magazine typography in larger sizes, and for branding that wants a classic, authoritative voice.
The tone is formal and authoritative, leaning toward classic editorial and book typography. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing add a refined, slightly severe elegance that feels traditional, institutional, and headline-ready rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif look with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, cut serifs, optimizing for striking presence and refined detail in display-oriented typography.
Numbers show the same contrast logic and feel robust in the heavier strokes, while hairlines remain noticeably thin in curves and joins. The design favors vertical emphasis and crisp edges, so it projects best when the fine strokes have enough resolution to stay intact.
