A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a distinctly sculpted rhythm on the line. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible in curved letters and diagonals. Curves are tight and polished, with small, controlled apertures and a compact internal spacing that reinforces a dense, print-like texture. Capitals feel stately and columnar, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text-serf structure with clear stroke contrast and clean, upright posture.
Best suited to headlines and prominent text where its contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated—magazine and editorial titles, book covers, cultural posters, and premium branding. It also fits formal print pieces such as invitations and programs, especially when set with generous spacing and comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting refinement and authority with a touch of theatrical drama from the extreme thin–thick transitions. It reads as formal and traditional rather than casual, with an elegant, high-end presence suited to curated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif voice with heightened contrast for impact—combining traditional proportions with crisp, decorative finishing for display-forward typography that still feels rooted in classic text-serf conventions.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals give a crisp, engraved impression, while at smaller sizes the contrast and tighter counters can make the texture feel darker and more delicate. Numerals share the same strong vertical emphasis and sharp detailing, keeping the set consistent in display-oriented settings.
