This serif face uses crisp, high-contrast strokes with a distinctly vertical rhythm and narrow overall proportions. Stems and terminals show tapered, flared behavior rather than blunt slabs, with small bracketed transitions that soften joins while keeping edges sharp. Curves are tight and controlled, counters stay relatively compact, and spacing feels measured, giving the text a neat, column-friendly texture. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with prominent ascenders/descenders, and numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered construction for a cohesive set.
It performs best in display and editorial roles—magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and section titles—where its contrast and narrow build can create strong hierarchy without consuming too much horizontal space. It can also work for short pulls, captions, and packaging copy when set with generous size or leading to preserve clarity.
The tone is poised and editorial, balancing refinement with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. It reads as traditional and literary, but the taut proportions and crisp terminals add a modern, curated edge suited to premium typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with a fashion/editorial edge, using flared, tapered terminals and high contrast to create a refined silhouette and a crisp, premium texture in text and headings.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/X) feel slender and taut, reinforcing the narrow color, while rounded letters (O/C/G) keep a disciplined, upright stress. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same sharp, flared finishing, helping large display settings look polished and intentional.
