A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes, giving letters a sculpted, display-forward presence. Serifs are fine and pointed with a lightly calligraphic feel, while curves show smooth modulation and tight joins. Several forms feature rounded or teardrop terminals (notably in lowercase), adding a slightly soft counterpoint to the sharp serifs. Proportions lean toward narrow-to-moderate letter widths with clear vertical stress, and the overall rhythm reads refined rather than mechanical.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, brand marks, and packaging where contrast and sharp detail can carry a premium impression. It can also work for pull quotes and short blocks of text in print or high-resolution settings, particularly when given generous size and spacing.
The tone is elegant and assertive, pairing classic bookish authority with a fashion-like sense of drama. Its contrast and sharp finishing details suggest prestige and ceremony, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling cold.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast text serifs: authoritative, polished, and optimized for attention in display settings while retaining traditional letterform cues.
Uppercase forms present strong monumentality in letters like M, N, and O, and the numerals show traditional serifed construction with pronounced stroke contrast. In the text sample, the font creates dense, high-impact word shapes that feel most comfortable at larger sizes where the hairlines can breathe.
