A polished serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Capitals are stately and open, with finely tapered serifs and sharp apexes, while the lowercase pairs a sturdy, text-ready structure with noticeable calligraphic stress. Curves show controlled swelling into strong vertical stems, and details like the ear and terminals lean toward clean, pointed finishes with occasional ball forms. Numerals follow the same contrasty, editorial rhythm, with sculpted curves and delicate entry/exit strokes that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to display applications where contrast and detailing can be appreciated—headlines, deck typography, magazine titles, book covers, and premium brand identities. It can also serve as a refined companion for pull quotes or short passages when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting a confident, editorial voice. Its strong contrast and precise detailing feel dramatic and polished, aligning well with fashion, culture, and premium branding aesthetics rather than utilitarian or informal contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, editorial interpretation of classic serif proportions: sharp, high-contrast forms for impact, paired with a disciplined text-serif skeleton for readability and typographic authority.
The letterforms maintain a consistent, classical rhythm with generous interior counters and a composed baseline presence. The width and open proportions give lines an airy, magazine-like color, while the hairline details add sparkle at display sizes and become more delicate in smaller settings.
