A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, featuring wedge-like, subtly flared serifs and softly bracketed joins. Curves are generously rounded yet tightly controlled, giving bowls and counters a compact, polished feel. The uppercase shows strong classical proportions with pointed apexes and crisp, chiseled terminals, while the lowercase carries sturdy, slightly condensed forms with pronounced serifs and compact apertures. Numerals are robust and display-oriented, with clear stroke modulation and crisp transitions between thick and thin.
Best suited to display sizes where the strong contrast and crisp serif detailing can read clearly—such as magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks. It can also support short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, balancing traditional refinement with a modern, incisive edge. Its sculpted contrast and sharp detailing communicate seriousness, prestige, and a confident, headline-forward personality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: high impact, high contrast, and carefully shaped details that feel premium and print-minded.
Diagonal strokes (as in V, W, X, and Y) show marked thinning toward the joins, reinforcing a carved, engraved impression. The punctuation and dots appear solid and round, pairing well with the font’s strong vertical rhythm.
