A high-contrast serif with a slender, vertical stance and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to bold with a pronounced, calligraphic modulation, while stems often widen subtly into flared endings that read as sculpted rather than bracketed. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with occasional wedge-like feet and fine entry/exit strokes that add sparkle in text. Counters are compact and neatly proportioned; curves are smooth and tightly drawn, producing a clean rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This font is well suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and refined brand identities where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial text at comfortable sizes in print or high-resolution screens, particularly when ample spacing and clean reproduction are available.
The overall tone is polished and elevated, balancing classic book typography cues with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Its high contrast and needle-like details create a sense of drama and sophistication, giving headlines a poised, editorial presence.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast reading of a classic serif tradition, emphasizing sharp detail, flared stroke endings, and a narrow, poised silhouette for premium editorial and branding use.
The design’s thin hairlines and tapered joins create strong light–dark patterning, especially in diagonals and curved letters. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and pointed terminals that visually match the letterforms.
