This serif face features a strongly calligraphic, high‑contrast construction with thick vertical stems and hairline connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with crisp, pointed finishing and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. Proportions read as classic and slightly condensed in many capitals, while curves (C, G, O) show pronounced vertical stress and tapered joins. The lowercase has a moderate x-height with sturdy, weighty bowls (a, e, g) and narrow, crisp joins, producing a dark, polished text color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where the high contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It also fits magazine design, book covers, and premium branding applications that want a traditional serif voice with added drama.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. It feels formal and composed, with a slightly theatrical sharpness that adds authority and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, conventionally serifed reading voice with heightened contrast for a more upscale, attention-grabbing presence in editorial and branding contexts.
Letterforms show consistent contrast logic across the set, with particularly thin horizontals and delicate serifs that will reward generous sizing and good reproduction. Numerals share the same high-contrast styling, with curvy figures and prominent thick–thin transitions that match the letters.
