This serif has sculpted, high-contrast letterforms with thick vertical stems and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharply cut with a wedge-like feel and subtle bracketing, giving joins and terminals a carved, chiseled look. Curves are taut and relatively narrow in places (notably in C/G/S), while counters remain open; the overall rhythm alternates strongly between heavy strokes and razor-thin connections. The lowercase shows traditional two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and crisp entry/exit strokes, while the numerals echo the same contrast and pointed finishing details.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial layouts, book-cover titling, and premium brand wordmarks. It can also work for short pull quotes and section headers where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated without crowding.
The typeface projects a formal, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial presence. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast feel assertive and polished, leaning toward classic sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice that reads as traditional and refined while adding extra drama through razor-thin hairlines and sculpted, wedge-like serifs.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and fine joins become a prominent stylistic feature, creating sparkle and tension across words. In dense settings the contrast can make spacing feel visually uneven, so careful tracking and generous leading help maintain clarity.
