A high-contrast serif with sharp, delicate hairlines set against strong vertical stems and a distinctly sculpted stroke modulation. Serifs read as fine, pointed wedges with a subtly flared, tapered behavior at many terminals, giving the outlines a carved, chiseled crispness rather than blunt slab endings. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow joins and clear stress, while counters stay relatively compact in many letters, reinforcing a dense, authoritative texture at text sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel formal and controlled, with crisp edges and a pronounced thick–thin snap in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial applications where contrast and crisp detail can be showcased. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality printing or high-resolution digital rendering.
The tone is refined and emphatic, combining classic bookish authority with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and keen terminals create a sense of drama and polish that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast serif voice with sculpted, flaring terminals—aimed at creating a distinctive, premium texture for editorial and brand-led typography.
Capitals present strong verticality and elegant, tapered diagonals, while round letters show a clear stressed axis. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with slender hairlines and pronounced thick strokes, producing an assertive, display-leaning presence even in running text.
