A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and clean, chiseled terminals. Strokes swing from very thin hairlines to heavy verticals, creating a pronounced rhythm and strong typographic color. The proportions feel generous and open, with rounded bowls and clear counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady, traditional texture without becoming cramped. Details such as the pointed joins, narrow waist in forms like “s,” and the crisp, slightly calligraphic modulation give the letterforms a refined, print-forward finish.
Best suited to headlines, deck text, and pull quotes where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for book covers, magazine and newspaper-style layouts, and premium brand identities that need a formal, authoritative serif presence. For longer text, it is most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the fine strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, with a dramatic elegance that reads as formal and established. Its contrast and sharp finishing convey prestige and seriousness, leaning toward classic publishing and heritage branding rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing for impact. It balances classic proportions with assertive weight and crisp finishing to serve editorial typography and statement display settings.
In larger sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs become a key visual feature, producing a crisp, engraved feel. The numerals and capitals appear designed to hold attention in headlines, while the lowercase keeps a traditional, readable cadence for short blocks of text.
