This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel finely cut rather than blocky. Capitals are broad and stately, with sharp apexes and clean joins that emphasize a sculpted, high-contrast silhouette. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a rounded, weighty presence in bowls and clear, slightly calligraphic transitions into hairlines. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, pairing stout verticals with delicate hairline connections and pointed finishing strokes for a cohesive, display-forward texture.
It performs best in large sizes where the contrast and sharp terminal work can read cleanly—headlines, magazine covers, editorial pull quotes, and brand wordmarks. It can also serve for short-form text in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts where the hairlines won’t break down.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, blending classical bookish authority with a fashion/editorial gloss. Strong contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of drama and refinement, suitable for work that wants to feel premium and intentional.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that delivers strong presence and elegance in display typography, while retaining conventional letterforms for familiar reading and versatile typographic pairing.
The rhythm is driven by prominent vertical stress and tightly controlled hairlines, producing a dense, inky color in bold settings while keeping counters open enough for clarity. Distinctive tapered beaks and angled entry/exit strokes add bite to letters like C, S, and a, and the Q’s sweeping tail and energetic diagonals in V/W/X give the set a lively, contemporary edge.
