A high-contrast serif with a sturdy, weighty presence and sharply defined thick–thin transitions. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, often ending in tapered, wedge-like terminals that give the strokes a sculpted, chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and full, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and vertical, with distinct calligraphic stress visible in round letters. The lowercase shows compact, solid forms with clear joins and a single-storey g, contributing to an assertive, display-leaning texture at larger sizes.
This style is well suited to magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, and brand identities that need a classic but punchy serif. It can work effectively for posters and packaging where strong contrast and crisp terminals help deliver a premium, high-impact look.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, pairing traditional serif cues with heightened contrast for a more dramatic, fashion-forward voice. It feels confident and formal, with an intentionally polished, high-impact texture suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation by amplifying contrast and sharpening terminals, creating a font that reads as traditional yet more theatrical and contemporary in display use.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp terminals create pronounced sparkle and a crisp edge, while the wide set and large, dark shapes maintain readability at headline sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear designed to match the uppercase’s stately proportions.
