This typeface shows high stroke contrast with slender hairlines and fuller verticals, producing a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are sharply cut yet subtly bracketed, with a noticeable flared quality where strokes broaden into terminals, giving capitals a sculpted, chiseled presence. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively generous, and the overall rhythm feels even and refined. Numerals and capitals read with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase keeps a steady, traditional serif structure with clean joins and precise terminals.
It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and flared detailing can be appreciated. The refined shapes also suit magazine layouts, luxury branding, and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs. For longer passages, it will favor sizes and settings that preserve the thin strokes and sharp terminals.
The overall tone is editorial and upscale, balancing classic bookish familiarity with a more fashion-forward sharpness. It feels composed and authoritative, with a hint of drama from the contrast and crisp detailing—well suited to sophisticated, formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, using flared stroke endings and crisp serif treatment to add a distinctive, premium character. It prioritizes elegance and strong typographic presence, aiming for confident display use while remaining grounded in traditional proportions.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, elegant page color, especially at larger sizes. The design’s pointed terminals and flared finishes add personality without becoming ornate, and the figures appear designed to match the same refined, high-contrast voice as the letters.
