This typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a vertical, upright construction and crisp, tapered stroke endings. Serifs are finely bracketed and often flare subtly out of the stems, producing sharp, chiseled corners rather than blunt slabs. Capitals are elegant and open with generous counters (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between similar forms. Overall proportions feel slightly condensed in the verticals with long, clean curves and carefully controlled joins, giving a polished, high-end texture in text.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, book covers, and refined brand marks where contrast and sharp serif detailing can shine. It can also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes, particularly in print-oriented layouts that benefit from its crisp, classic rhythm.
The overall tone is sophisticated and slightly dramatic, with a fashion/editorial sensibility. The high contrast and sharp finishing details convey confidence and luxury, while the restrained, traditional skeleton keeps it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended to blend a classical serif foundation with more contemporary sharpness and flare, creating an elegant face that reads as premium and expressive without becoming ornate. The consistent contrast and controlled proportions suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and branding applications.
The numerals and uppercase share the same high-contrast logic, with smooth, calligraphic curves and tapered terminals that keep the figures feeling integrated with the letters. In the text sample, the face produces a strong light–dark pattern, making it especially effective at larger sizes where the hairlines and tapered details can be appreciated.
