A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. The serifs are small and sharp with a subtly bracketed feel, while many joins and terminals resolve into wedge-like cuts or teardrop/ball endings that add sparkle. Capitals are compact and assertive with elegant curves (notably in C, G, S) and distinctive diagonal strokes in V/W/X that read as sculpted rather than mechanical. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, readable skeleton but introduce lively details—single-storey a and g, a tight ear on g, and rounded terminals on letters like a, f, and y—creating a rhythmic, display-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine typography where its contrast and detailing can remain crisp. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic-yet-fashionable serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, balancing classical book-serif authority with fashion-led sharpness. Its glossy contrast and sculpted terminals give it a premium, editorial voice that feels confident and slightly theatrical rather than understated.
The design appears intended as a modern high-contrast serif for display and editorial work, combining traditional proportions with stylized terminals to create a distinctive, upscale texture. Its detailing prioritizes character and visual impact while retaining conventional serif structures for familiar readability.
Numerals mirror the letterforms’ calligraphic stress and high contrast, with stylized curves and distinctive terminals (especially 2, 3, and 7) that read as ornamental. In paragraph settings, the strong contrast and dark verticals create a striking pattern best suited to larger sizes or generous spacing.
