A high-contrast serif with crisp, pointed terminals and finely tapered hairlines set against substantial vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and elegantly bracketed, giving the outlines a chiseled, polished look rather than a slabby feel. Capitals are stately and broad with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms show compact apertures and tight internal counters that read as dense and authoritative at display sizes. The overall rhythm is firm and structured, with clean curves, a controlled italic-less stance, and a distinctly sculpted silhouette in letters like S, G, and Q.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, book cover titling, posters, and brand marks that benefit from assertive contrast and refined serif detailing. It can work for short passages and pull quotes when given adequate size, spacing, and comfortable line height to preserve clarity.
The font projects a confident, editorial tone with a sense of luxury and ceremony. Its dramatic contrast and knife-like serifs evoke fashion mastheads, book titling, and premium branding where a classic voice is meant to feel modern and emphatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-impact text serif adapted for display-forward settings: classic proportions paired with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals to create a premium, attention-grabbing voice.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with prominent thick–thin modulation and sharp finishing strokes that match the capitals. At smaller sizes the tight counters and strong contrast may demand careful typesetting, while at large sizes the detailing reads as crisp and intentional.
