A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, upright stance. Stems often swell into subtly flared endings, and serifs read as sharp, lightly bracketed wedges rather than slabs, producing an elegant, carved-in feel. Capitals are stately with generous curves (notably in C/G/O/Q) and decisive verticals, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact bowls and strong hairlines. Numerals are similarly contrasty and classical, with slender diagonals and crisp terminals that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large digital sizes, especially in editorial and luxury contexts.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, high-end sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes suggest formality and craftsmanship, lending a premium, confident voice to headlines and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical, high-contrast serif styling, combining sharp hairlines with subtly flared stroke endings for a distinctive, premium finish.
In text settings the thin strokes and hairline serifs create bright internal counters and a lively rhythm, while the heavier verticals anchor lines with authority. The contrast and pointed details reward larger sizes where the flared terminals and fine joins remain clear.
