This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The curves show a slightly sculpted, flared finish at joins and terminals, with teardrop/ball-like endings appearing in letters such as a, c, and f. Counters are relatively tight and the vertical rhythm is assertive, giving uppercase forms a crisp, stately presence. The lowercase keeps a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey a and compact bowls, while figures adopt the same dramatic contrast and pointed serif behavior.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and book or album covers where its contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging in short wordmarks or titles, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward punch. Its crisp edges and inky verticals feel premium and authoritative, suited to designs that want elegance with a bit of sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern editorial serif with classical proportions and intentionally dramatic contrast, emphasizing crisp terminals and flared finishing to create a distinctive, premium texture on the page.
In text settings, the strong contrast and tight internal spaces create a dense, impactful color, especially at larger sizes. The capitals read as formal and monumental, while the lowercase introduces slightly more softness through rounded terminals and swelling joins.
