A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and crisp, tapered stroke endings. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with vertical stress, giving capitals a sculpted, monumental feel while maintaining clean, upright structure. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, counters are moderately open, and joins are sharply resolved, producing a dark, polished texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with elegantly tapered terminals and a refined, traditional rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, book covers, and brand marks where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also work for short-form editorial text (pull quotes, intros, captions) when set with appropriate size and spacing to protect the thin strokes.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge driven by the strong contrast and sharp finishing. It reads as premium and editorial, suggesting heritage and sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, pairing classical proportions and bracketed serifs with a distinctly modern, high-fashion sharpness. It prioritizes elegance and authority in prominent settings.
In the sample text, the heavy verticals and thin hairlines create a striking page color that benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing. The mix of sturdy stems and delicate cross-strokes gives headlines a commanding presence, while the crisp serifs and controlled curves help maintain clarity in larger text settings.
