A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a strongly sculpted, print-like rhythm. Serifs are bracketed but cut with sharp, refined points; several letters show pronounced beak terminals and tapered strokes that emphasize a calligraphic stress. Counters are relatively compact and the joins get very thin, while the overall silhouette stays clean and upright. Round forms (O, C, G, o, e) are smooth and tightly controlled, and the figures follow the same contrasty, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It also fits book covers, fashion or luxury branding, and formal invitations; for long passages, it will be most comfortable at larger text sizes with generous spacing.
The font projects an editorial, classical tone with a sense of ceremony and luxury. Its dramatic thick–thin play and razor-like details feel suited to high-end contexts, conveying authority and sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif that modernizes classic editorial letterforms through strong vertical emphasis and finely cut hairlines. It aims to deliver a refined, authoritative voice with enough drama to stand out in display typography.
In text, the strong contrast and small interior spaces create dense, dark paragraphs with a pronounced sparkle from the hairlines. Terminals and serifs are noticeably sharp, and details like the ball on the lowercase a and the energetic diagonals in letters such as K, V, W, and Y add a slightly theatrical finish.
