A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing clear stress and a crisp, engraved-like finish. Serifs are bracketed and taper elegantly, with pointed terminals appearing on several joins and diagonals. Proportions feel slightly expansive and confident, with generous interior counters and clear separation in the numerals and capitals; curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) read as clean, knife-like strokes. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a sturdy, readable rhythm in text.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, book covers, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short-form reading in print-like layouts where contrast and elegance are priorities and sizes are kept comfortably large.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing add a sense of drama and luxury without becoming ornamental, evoking bookish tradition and high-end print aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic text serif, emphasizing high contrast, crisp finishing, and confident width for impactful, premium-feeling typography. It aims to balance traditional letterform familiarity with a sharper, more dramatic presence for modern editorial use.
In the sample text, the type holds together with a steady baseline and consistent spacing, producing a clean typographic color at larger sizes. The ampersand appears classical and bold, matching the weight distribution of the capitals, and the numerals share the same high-contrast logic with prominent verticals and fine connecting strokes.
