A high-contrast serif with a vertical, rational build: thick main stems pair with very fine hairlines and needle-like serifs. The serifs read sharp and relatively unbracketed, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel rather than a soft, calligraphic one. Round letters like O and Q show strong thick–thin modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay clean and taut without becoming spidery. Lowercase forms keep a compact, bookish rhythm, with clear two-storey a and g, small apertures, and occasional ball terminals that add a refined finish.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and premium brand systems where sharp contrast and refined serifs can be shown at ample sizes. It can also work for pull quotes, titles, and poster typography that benefits from a dramatic, elegant texture.
The tone is formal and upscale, with an editorial polish that feels suited to high-end branding and print. Its stark thick–thin contrast and pointed detailing create a dramatic, authoritative voice that can feel ceremonial or institutional depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with modern crispness—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and strong typographic hierarchy in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairlines remain striking at display sizes, creating a crisp black-and-white texture with pronounced sparkle in the horizontals and serifs. The numerals and uppercase carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, literary character without appearing overly ornate.
