A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly sculpted, engraved feel. Serifs are narrow and pointed with subtle bracketing, often reading as wedged or flared terminals rather than flat slabs. The uppercase is sturdy and statuesque with crisp joins and deep interior counters, while the lowercase is compact and robust, with a double-storey “g” and “a” and tightly controlled curves. Numerals follow the same display-leaning logic, with strong thick–thin transitions and lively, calligraphic turns on forms like 2, 3, and 5.
Best suited to headlines and display settings such as magazine titles, book covers, and poster typography where its crisp serifs and strong thick–thin modulation can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or section openers when a classic, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial sharpness. Its extreme thick–thin rhythm and pointed finishing details add drama and sophistication, evoking book typography, classic publishing, and refined institutional voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a conventional serif reading with heightened drama—combining traditional proportions with exaggerated contrast and pointed, elegant finishing strokes to signal prestige and emphasis.
The design’s contrast and fine hairlines become especially prominent in larger sizes, where the pointed serifs and tapered terminals read as intentional stylistic accents. In paragraphs, the heavy vertical emphasis and crisp serifs create a strong texture and a distinctly formal color on the page.
