A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes that create a distinctly engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharply defined and often bracketed, with pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible in curves and joins. Proportions feel moderately narrow with tall capitals and compact lowercase, while round letters show pronounced thick–thin transitions. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sharp finishing, giving the set a refined, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to display and editorial typography such as headlines, magazine features, book covers, pull quotes, and refined posters where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in print-like layouts, especially when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a couture-like elegance that reads as editorial and traditional rather than casual. Its sharp serifs and stark contrast add a sense of ceremony and gravity, suited to sophisticated, high-end communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with an upscale, print-classic character. Its sharp terminals and pronounced modulation suggest an emphasis on sophistication and impact in titles and editorial settings.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines produce a lively sparkle and a distinctly “inked” texture; at smaller sizes the thinnest strokes may appear delicate compared with the heavy stems. The italic is not shown, and the displayed forms emphasize classic serif conventions with assertive, pointed detailing.
