A high-contrast serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. Vertical stems are sturdy and widen into flared, bracketed endings rather than flat slabs, giving the contours a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Serifs read as crisp wedges with smooth transitions, and bowls show tight apertures with pointed terminals in places (notably in C, G, S, and the lowercases). The rhythm is compact and weighty, with strong vertical emphasis and clear thick–thin articulation that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and brand marks where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for packaging and poster applications that benefit from a bold, premium serif voice; for longer passages, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is refined and emphatic, combining classical book-seriff authority with a modern, fashion-leaning sharpness. Its crisp terminals and dramatic contrast give it a confident, display-forward personality that feels premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, high-contrast serif with flared endings that reads both classic and contemporary. Its consistent modulation and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on striking display impact while retaining recognizable, traditional serif structures.
The numerals follow the same flared, high-contrast logic and appear designed to hold up at larger sizes. In text, the heavy verticals and tight internal spaces create a dark color and a punchy texture, while the pointed terminals add a distinctive edge to word shapes.
