A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and tapered, flared stroke endings that give stems a subtly sculpted profile. Serifs are crisp and bracketing is gentle, creating smooth joins rather than abrupt slabby terminals. The proportions feel bookish and steady, with compact bowls, controlled apertures, and a measured rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals show a formal, display-leaning finish, with striking thick–thin transitions that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and premium branding, especially when set with generous leading and not-too-small sizes to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and pointed finishing details read as fashion-forward yet traditional, projecting confidence and a sense of heritage craftsmanship.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance and impact through flared, tapered endings and disciplined proportions. It prioritizes a luxe, print-oriented texture and a confident presence in display and editorial settings.
In longer lines the strong vertical emphasis produces a clear, rhythmic texture, while the very fine hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes. The lowercase includes crisp terminals and tight counters that favor a clean, tailored look over softness.
