A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and darker verticals that create a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Serifs read as wedge-like and gently flared, with smooth bracketing into the stems rather than slabby terminals. Round forms are compact and slightly oval, with tight apertures and a controlled, upright posture. The lowercase shows traditional bookish proportions with a two-storey a and g, small crisp details, and pronounced stroke modulation that becomes especially apparent in joins and curved strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits editorial design, book or magazine covers, and branding systems that want a classic, premium voice. In longer text, it will be most comfortable at sizes that preserve its fine hairlines and tight counters.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, conveying a sense of authority and careful craftsmanship. Its sharp contrast and tapered finishing lend a refined, fashion-and-editorial feel while still reading as formal and classical.
The design appears intended to modernize a classical serif model through pronounced contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing, aiming for a crisp, upscale presence in display and editorial settings.
Capitals feel stately and evenly weighted, with pointed internal joins and cleanly cut serifs that keep the silhouette crisp. Figures are similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that suggest best performance with comfortable sizes and sufficient print or screen resolution.
