A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strongly weighted verticals, producing a crisp, engraved color on the page. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like, with pointed terminals that give many strokes a chiseled, faceted finish. Curves are taut and smoothly modulated, while joins and apertures stay clean and controlled, helping large text look polished and deliberate. The lowercase shows classic proportions with a moderate x-height and compact counters, while capitals are stately and wide enough to read as display without feeling overly ornamental.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, editorial typography, and brand marks where a refined, high-contrast serif can signal premium positioning. It also works effectively for posters, pull quotes, and cover typography, especially when paired with a quieter companion for longer passages.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, balancing classical bookish structure with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and pronounced stroke modulation add a sense of luxury and authority, making it feel formal, confident, and slightly theatrical in headlines.
This design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice: classical proportions and conventional letterforms sharpened with pointed serifs and dramatic modulation for impactful display use. The goal seems to be elegant authority with a contemporary, editorial sheen.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates striking word shapes at larger sizes, but the finest hairlines and small internal details suggest it will feel most comfortable with generous sizing or calmer backgrounds. Numerals and round letters maintain the same crisp modulation, reinforcing a consistent, carved look across the set.
