A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine connecting hairlines, creating a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are thin and sharp, with minimal bracketing and a generally vertical stress. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in rhythm, while lowercase shows a traditional structure with compact counters and clear thick–thin modulation. The overall texture is dark and authoritative at text sizes, with bright, delicate highlights from the hairlines.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, and other editorial display work where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding when set with ample size and spacing, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The font conveys a formal, editorial tone with a theatrical edge—confident, polished, and slightly severe. Its pronounced contrast and sharp serifs evoke classic print traditions and lend a sense of ceremony and authority to headings and statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-driven elegance with commanding presence, combining heavy verticals with refined hairlines for maximum contrast and impact. It prioritizes a polished, authoritative voice appropriate for editorial and display typography.
The sample text shows that the weight and contrast create a strong typographic color, and the thin details become a defining feature in larger settings. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with a consistent, disciplined rhythm across the set.
