A sharp, high-contrast serif with elegant, tapered stems and finely cut terminals. Serifs are bracketed but often reduced to knife-like wedges, giving many letters a chiseled, sculptural finish. Curves are smooth and generous, while joins and entry strokes stay crisp, producing a lively interplay between thick verticals and hairline connections. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some capitals with tall ascenders and a poised, high-waisted rhythm; counters are open and the overall texture is airy despite the drama of contrast.
Best suited to magazine typography, headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, premium tone. For long passages, it will perform most comfortably when set with generous size and leading to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The font reads as sophisticated and editorial, with a distinctly high-fashion polish. Its crisp wedges and razor terminals add theatrical tension, making text feel curated, premium, and slightly avant-garde rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, boutique take on a classic serif: sharp, high-contrast letterforms with stylized wedge terminals that elevate otherwise familiar proportions. It prioritizes personality and elegance for display and editorial use while retaining recognizable, readable skeletons.
Uppercase forms emphasize elegant geometry (notably in C, G, Q, and S), while the lowercase keeps a clean, bookish structure with refined stress. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern and look display-oriented, with slender strokes and pronounced curves that favor elegance over neutrality.
