A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline terminals and sculpted, bracketed serifs that flare into thick main strokes. The letterforms show pronounced vertical stress and sharply tapered joins, creating a cut, glossy rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions lean expansive with generous widths and open counters, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) feel carefully carved rather than purely geometric. Lowercase details such as the two-storey g, the sharp-shouldered r, and the teardrop-like dots reinforce a refined, display-leaning text serif voice.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and brand identities that benefit from a sophisticated, high-fashion look. It can also work for short passages, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and wide stance can be given enough size and breathing room.
The overall tone reads polished and elevated, with a fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its strong contrast and razor-like serifs give it a dramatic, premium feel that suggests confidence and formality. The texture in paragraphs looks lively and upscale rather than quiet or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, literary serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing for contemporary editorial impact. It aims to balance traditional forms with a more dramatic finish, creating an authoritative yet glamorous typographic voice.
Numerals are similarly stylized, with curved forms and pointed terminals that match the alphabet’s sharp finishing. The wide set and contrast produce a distinctive sparkle at larger sizes, while the thin horizontals and serifs may require mindful sizing and reproduction conditions for sustained clarity.
