This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, crisp terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and fine hairlines that create a lively, sparkling texture at display sizes. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a double-storey a and g, a compact t, and neatly finished shoulders and bowls. Figures are lining with strong vertical stress and distinctive contrast, matching the letterforms’ formal, engraved character.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazines, headline systems, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp detail are advantages. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book-cover titling that benefit from a classic-yet-dramatic serif presence.
The overall tone is formal and elevated, combining classic book typography cues with fashion-forward contrast for a polished, premium feel. Its sharpness and contrast add drama, giving it an assertive editorial voice that reads as confident and cultured.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading of authority and heritage while amplifying contrast and crisp detailing for contemporary display impact. It balances classical proportions with more dramatic stroke modulation to stand out in editorial and brand-driven typography.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed serifs become a defining feature, producing a crisp, high-end look; in denser settings the contrast can create a darker rhythm on the thick strokes and a delicate sparkle on the thins. The design maintains consistent stress and serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long headlines and pull quotes feel cohesive.
