A sharp, contemporary serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems and serifs show a subtly sculpted, flared behavior, with bracketed joins and a clean, polished finish that keeps counters open despite the delicate hairlines. Proportions lean tall with a relatively high cap presence; round letters are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay taut and elegant. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, pairing sturdy verticals with fine connecting strokes for a refined, print-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a premium, high-contrast serif voice. It performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, covers, and poster-style settings where its sharp details and sculpted terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, mixing classical bookish cues with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. It feels formal and curated, projecting authority and sophistication without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on an elegant serif: high contrast for drama, restrained classical structure for readability, and subtly flared, sculpted endings to give the strokes a tailored, luxurious finish.
In longer text, the strong contrast creates a lively page color and a distinct vertical cadence, while the finely cut terminals and delicate joins add a sense of precision. The font’s character is especially noticeable at display sizes where hairlines and flares read as intentional detailing.
