A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and sharply cut, bracketed serifs that often taper into subtle flares. Curves are smooth and taut, with narrow apertures and pointed terminals that give the forms a clean, incisive finish. Capitals feel stately and proportioned for display, while lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with compact counters, a two-storey “a,” and a clear, vertical stress. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant thins and sturdy stems that keep them coherent in headlines.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book covers, and brand wordmarks where contrast and crisp serif detailing can be appreciated. It also performs in short-to-medium text blocks for editorial layouts, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical bookish authority with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp details and contrast communicate sophistication, formality, and premium positioning without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif for editorial and brand settings, using strong contrast and tapered, flared endings to create a memorable, upscale voice while maintaining disciplined, readable forms.
Spacing appears measured and consistent, producing a steady rhythm in paragraph setting; the strong contrast makes the texture lively, while the pointed terminals and tapered endings add a distinctive bite. At larger sizes the hairlines read particularly clean, emphasizing the font’s refined detailing.
