A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines, paired with sturdy main stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and neatly cut, giving terminals a crisp, sculpted finish. The capitals feel broad and statuesque with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with clearly modeled bowls and narrow joins. Overall spacing is open enough for display use, yet the forms remain cohesive and text-capable in the sample paragraph.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where contrast and crisp serifs can carry visual hierarchy. It also fits magazine layouts, book covers, and other editorial settings that benefit from a classic, elevated voice. In branding and packaging, it can signal sophistication, especially when set at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The design reads as polished and authoritative, with a classic editorial tone. Its dramatic thick–thin transitions add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the controlled geometry keeps it sober rather than ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast text serifs: clean, controlled outlines with enough drama for display while maintaining disciplined proportions for continuous reading.
Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and many strokes end in tapered, calligraphic points that heighten the contrast. Numerals share the same formal modeling, with prominent thick stems and delicate hairline turns that match the letterforms.
