A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a mix of delicate brackets and pointed, wedge-like terminals that create a chiseled, editorial rhythm. Capitals show generous curves and tight hairlines, while the lowercase uses sturdy verticals with compact joins and occasional ball-like terminals, producing a distinctly sculpted texture at text sizes. Figures are similarly contrasty, with bold stems, thin cross-strokes, and elegant curves that echo the letterforms.
This style is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where sharp contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging, and works effectively for short-form editorial text when set with adequate size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, high-end sparkle. Its sharp details and strong contrast give it a confident, attention-commanding presence that feels refined rather than rustic.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, impact, and crisp detail for display-led typography.
The design leans on strong vertical stress and delicate internal apertures, which heightens the sense of precision and formality. Spacing appears comfortable in display settings, and the contrast-driven rhythm is especially evident in rounded letters and diagonals.
