A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharply tapered joins. Serifs are bracketed yet cut with a keen, chiseled finish, giving stems and arms a sculpted look. Curves are full and slightly egg-shaped in counters, while terminals often resolve into ball or teardrop forms, especially in the lowercase. The overall rhythm is lively, with noticeable variation in stroke emphasis across letters and numerals that adds a distinctly crafted, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and larger editorial settings where its high contrast and sculpted detailing can read cleanly. It works well for magazines, book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging, and can be effective for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish authority with a touch of drama. Its sharp contrast and stylized terminals lend a refined, fashion-and-culture feel rather than a purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive terminals, aiming for elegance and impact in editorial and display contexts.
In text, the strong vertical stress and prominent thick strokes create a bold, ink-on-paper presence, while the hairlines and fine serifs add sparkle at larger sizes. The figures follow the same contrast and tapering, helping headlines and pull quotes maintain a cohesive, high-end character.
