A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, crisp hairline joins, and finely tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a carved, calligraphic feel in curves and diagonals. The proportions are generous and open, with broad capitals and rounded bowls that maintain a steady baseline rhythm; counters stay clear even as thin strokes become extremely light. Details like the angled leg on R, the sweeping tail on Q, and the pointed apexes in V/W/X reinforce a sculpted, display-leaning text serif character.
This design is well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the contrast can read as intentional and luxurious. It also fits magazine typography, book-cover titling, and brand identities that want a classic serif voice with heightened refinement; in longer passages it will favor comfortable sizes and good reproduction where hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is formal and premium, with a pronounced editorial elegance. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing give it a fashion-forward, print-classical voice that reads confident and slightly theatrical, especially at larger sizes.
The font appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text serif that bridges traditional bookish forms with a more fashion/editorial sharpness. It prioritizes elegance, strong typographic color, and distinctive silhouettes for impactful setting.
Round letters show smooth, continuous modulation from thick to thin, while joins stay clean rather than blobby, keeping the texture crisp. Numerals echo the same contrast and refined serifs, producing a cohesive, high-end look in mixed text and figure settings.
