This serif displays sharply tapered main strokes with hairline connections, creating a crisp, high-fashion rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with beaked and spurred details that give joins a chiseled, calligraphic snap. Counters are relatively tight and the internal shapes feel slightly triangular in places, while round letters show strong thick–thin modulation. Lowercase forms include prominent teardrop/ball terminals (notably in g, j, and y), and the overall color is dark and punchy, especially in larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine spreads, and other editorial layouts where high contrast can be shown at comfortable sizes. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, premium voice, and short pulls/quotes where its distinctive terminals add character.
The tone is confident and theatrical, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than quiet bookishness. Its sharp contrasts and stylized terminals evoke luxury packaging and headline typography, with a touch of vintage bravura.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic serif model by pushing contrast and sharpening terminal behavior for attention-getting typography. It prioritizes striking word shapes and an elegant, assertive texture for display use while retaining familiar serif proportions.
The numerals mix strong vertical stress with idiosyncratic details (a more open, lighter 4 and more decorative curves in 2 and 3), reinforcing a display-oriented personality. Spacing in the sample text reads compact and energetic, with pronounced word shapes driven by the strong serif and terminal vocabulary.
