A display-leaning serif with sharply tapered hairlines set against dense, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and pointed, often bracketed into the stems, creating crisp, chiseled transitions. Curves show pronounced swelling and narrowing, with teardrop and ball-like terminals appearing in several lowercase forms. The overall rhythm is lively and slightly calligraphic in modulation, while maintaining upright, formal proportions and clear vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and brand-led applications where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text such as deck copy or packaging statements, but the strongest results will come from larger sizes and ample spacing.
The tone is elegant and attention-grabbing, pairing classic bookish authority with a distinctly high-fashion punch. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of drama and polish, suitable for premium or statement-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif look: traditional proportions and clear serif construction combined with heightened contrast, pointed finishing, and expressive terminals to create maximum impact in display settings.
In text, the dark mass of capitals and the expressive joins in letters like K, R, a, and g give the face a distinctive, sculptural texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded figures showing deep inktraps-like narrowing and hairline entry/exit strokes that read particularly well at larger sizes.
