This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, calligraphic stress. Serifs are fine and sharp, often gently bracketed into the stems, with crisp tapered terminals that create a polished, cut-stone feel. Capitals are stately and fairly narrow with generous interior counters, while the lowercase shows compact, controlled curves and a measured rhythm. The overall drawing is clean and consistent, with delicate hairlines that heighten the contrast and give the letterforms a refined, sculpted finish.
It performs best in editorial applications such as magazines, headlines, and pull quotes, as well as book titles and refined brand identities. The high contrast and fine detailing also suit premium packaging and poster work where elegance and visual drama are desired.
The tone is elegant and authoritative, projecting a classic editorial sophistication with a hint of fashion-forward drama. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions suggest premium, curated contexts rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a traditional high-contrast serif—balancing classic proportions with crisp hairlines and controlled, contemporary drawing for confident editorial and brand-led typography.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively texture and a bright top-and-bottom shimmer, especially around joins and serifs. The numerals share the same crisp contrast and formal posture, reading as refined and display-friendly.
