A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often open into subtle flares. Stems feel sculpted rather than purely bracketed, with sharp joins and knife-like hairlines that create a glossy, engraved look. The capitals are stately and slightly condensed in impression, while the lowercase shows a steady rhythm with compact counters and crisp apertures; curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are clean and tensioned. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with elegant curves and fine hairline connections that read best at display and larger text sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding where high contrast can shine. It will also work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution settings, especially when paired with generous leading and careful spacing.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishes add drama and elegance, giving headlines a confident, high-end presence without feeling playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared stroke endings, combining traditional letter structure with a more dramatic, fashion-forward finish. It prioritizes elegance and impact through sharp hairlines, sculpted stems, and a controlled, vertical rhythm.
Distinctive details include narrow, pointed hairline serifs, tapered cross strokes, and a strong vertical stress that amplifies contrast in round letters like O/Q and 8/9. The lowercase a and g feel traditional and text-informed, while the pronounced stroke modulation keeps the voice firmly in the display/editorial realm.
