A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering hairlines. Stems often widen subtly into flared or wedge-like endings, and the serifs read as sharp, bracketed forms rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are broad and stately with smooth, rounded bowls (C, O) balanced by knife-like diagonals (V, W, X). Lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish skeleton with sturdy verticals, tight apertures, and compact, well-contained counters; the overall spacing and rhythm feel measured, with a slightly display-leaning color at text sizes.
Performs best in headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and flared details can be appreciated. It also suits magazine layouts, posters, and book covers that want a classic serif voice with extra drama and sophistication.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining classical authority with a theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted endings give it a premium feel suited to high-visibility typography while still retaining a familiar, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif for editorial and display use, emphasizing contrast, sculpted terminals, and a confident, elegant rhythm that reads as premium and authoritative.
Numerals show clear contrast between thick stems and hairline curves, with elegant, calligraphic transitions that reinforce the refined, print-oriented character. The design emphasizes sharp finishing details and clean silhouette readability, especially in large settings.
