A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Stems are assertive while connecting strokes and serifs stay thin, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are small and pointed with minimal bracketing, and many terminals finish in clean wedges or fine hooks. Proportions feel slightly condensed in some capitals with generous counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-ish structure with clear differentiation between strokes and rounded bowls.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated title treatments—where the contrast can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits book covers and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a dramatic, fashion-and-editorial kind of elegance. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest a premium, classic sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classical serif look: dramatic contrast, crisp finishing, and confident verticals that produce an elegant, attention-grabbing texture for display and editorial use.
In text settings the contrast produces lively texture and pronounced sparkle, especially around round letters and diagonals. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with distinctive curves (notably in forms like 2, 3, S, and Q) that add personality without becoming ornamental.
