This serif typeface presents a high-contrast, upright structure with sharply tapered terminals and bracketed serifs. Stems are sturdy and vertical while hairlines thin dramatically, creating a crisp black–white rhythm that becomes especially evident in the sample text. The letterforms show slightly calligraphic modulation, with pointed joins and wedge-like finishing strokes that give capitals a stately presence and lowercase a lively, sculpted texture. Counters are relatively open for a display-leaning serif, and the figures follow the same contrast-driven logic with elegant curves and narrow joins.
It performs best in headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where high contrast can be appreciated. The formal, refined detailing also suits book covers, cultural branding, and premium packaging, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean supporting typography.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, balancing refinement with a touch of dramatic sharpness. It suggests printed heritage—bookish and authoritative—while the crisp contrast and tapered details add a fashionable, high-end edge suitable for contemporary layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading of elegance with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals, creating a typeface that feels traditional at its core but visually striking in modern editorial and branding use.
In continuous text the strong thick–thin modulation produces a distinctive sparkle; the face reads cleanly at larger sizes, where the sharp terminals and interior shaping become a key part of its character. Uppercase forms feel commanding and symmetrical, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved shoulders and tapered entry/exit strokes.
