A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining sturdy main stems with very thin hairlines and sharp, largely unbracketed serifs. The letterforms feel compact and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, with crisp joins and pointed details in diagonals and arms. Uppercase shapes are stately and structured, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and narrow apertures. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with strong verticals and delicate connecting strokes that give figures a refined, display-leaning presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, book covers, and branding where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry the voice. It works especially well for display sizes, pull quotes, and titling where the thin hairlines have room to breathe and the vertical rhythm can read clearly.
The overall tone is authoritative and literary, with a dramatic, editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and crisp finishing details evoke a classic, print-oriented sensibility suited to formal and high-impact typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with strong verticality and crisp refinement, prioritizing impact and elegance over utilitarian small-size neutrality.
The heavy/light interplay creates a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the fine hairlines and tight counters can look fragile in small settings or on low-resolution outputs. The texture is distinctly vertical, producing strong alignment and a confident, poster-like silhouette in headlines.
