This typeface presents as a high-contrast roman with sharp, tapered wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Curves are smoothly modeled with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled, giving the letters a sculpted, editorial feel. Capitals are tall and stately with generous internal space, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with moderate ascenders/descenders and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that read best when given sufficient size and spacing.
It suits headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display roles where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a classic, upscale voice is desired. For longer text, it will benefit from comfortable sizing and print- or high-resolution contexts that preserve the thin strokes.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion-and-publishing kind of sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of ceremony and prestige, making it feel formal without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic roman voice: high contrast, crisp wedges, and carefully shaped curves that signal elegance and authority. It emphasizes visual drama and typographic polish over utilitarian neutrality.
Several forms lean on sharp triangular serifs and pointed terminals (notably in diagonals and the “W/X” shapes), which heightens the crispness but can make hairlines feel delicate in small sizes. The italic-like motion is subtle rather than slanted, coming primarily from contrast and stress rather than angle.
