A high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical, upright stance and tightly controlled proportions. Thick main stems pair with very fine hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs, creating a sharp black-and-white rhythm across words. Curves are smooth and taut with pronounced vertical stress, while several letters show beak-like or teardrop terminals that add a refined, slightly stylized finish. The overall color is dense and bold, but the thin connections and hairlines keep the texture elegant rather than heavy.
Best suited to display sizes where the hairlines and fine joins have room to breathe—headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, posters, and high-end branding. It can also work for short subheads or decks when printed or rendered large enough to preserve the delicate strokes.
The tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its crisp contrast and pointed details convey prestige and seriousness, with a hint of flamboyance in the terminals and punctuation.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif sophistication with heightened contrast for maximum impact in titles. It prioritizes a striking silhouette and elegant detail, aiming for an upscale editorial voice rather than neutral, long-form text regularity.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a striking headline texture, while the narrow set and tall capitals emphasize verticality. The numerals and punctuation share the same high-contrast logic and decorative terminal treatment, helping the font feel cohesive in display settings.
