A high-contrast serif with tall capitals, crisp unbracketed serifs, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Round letters show a strong vertical stress, with hairline joins and finely tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the heavy stems. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a two-storey a and g, a relatively small e aperture, and assertive verticals that create a dark, rhythmic texture in text. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with rounded forms and sharp finishing details that feel made for display sizing.
This font suits magazines, book covers, and headline systems where a polished, high-contrast voice is desired. It also works well for branding in luxury, culture, and events, and for poster typography that benefits from sharp serif detail and strong vertical rhythm.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, leaning toward fashion/editorial polish with a distinctly classical, print-forward presence. Its sharp hairlines and stately proportions add drama and a sense of luxury, while the upright stance keeps it composed and formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modernized classic serif look with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing, optimized for striking display typography while maintaining enough structure for short-to-medium text settings.
Spacing and rhythm read as generous and steady in the sample setting, supporting long lines without losing the crispness of the hairlines. The design’s contrast and fine details suggest it will look most convincing when given enough size and resolution for the thin strokes and serifs to stay intact.
