A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, hairline joins, and sharply cut terminals. Serifs are small and bracketed, with crisp, wedge-like entry and exit strokes that give many letters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact with sturdy stems, while lowercase shows lively details such as a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a sharply tapered “t” with a thin crossbar. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate hairlines and pronounced curves that read as display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes and display subheads, especially in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive—refined in its hairlines but commanding in its heavy strokes. It evokes contemporary editorial typography with a fashion-forward polish, balancing classical serif manners with a slightly theatrical, high-impact rhythm.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end editorial voice: traditional serif construction pushed toward dramatic contrast and crisp detailing for maximum impact in display settings.
The face relies on thin internal joins and tight apertures in several letters, creating a glossy, ink-trap-free silhouette that rewards generous sizes and clean reproduction. Curves are broad and smooth, and many terminals end in pointed, blade-like cuts that add sparkle in headlines.
