This serif displays a dramatic hairline-to-stem contrast with crisp, sharply cut serifs and tapered joins that give strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are tall and elegant with ample interior space, while lowercase forms show smooth, bracketed-like transitions and finely pointed terminals that keep the texture lively. Curves in letters like C, G, S, and O are clean and controlled, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, with a mix of open counters and delicate finishing strokes. Overall spacing reads airy and upscale, producing a bright page color at display sizes with a distinctly polished rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and large-format typography where the fine serifs and contrast can be fully appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, editorial covers, and pull-quote moments that need a refined, attention-grabbing serif.
The tone is poised and high-end, combining classic bookish manners with a modern, fashion-oriented sharpness. Its strong contrast and precise terminals create a sense of drama and sophistication suited to premium, curated contexts.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a premium, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and visual impact over utilitarian neutrality. The consistent sharp finishing and clean curves suggest an intention to perform especially well in display and editorial settings.
The design leans on thin horizontals and hairline serifs, so the visual voice is crisp and sensitive to size: it rewards generous scaling and careful reproduction. The italic is not shown, and the visible set emphasizes a consistent, elegant stress and a slightly sculpted, editorial character across letters and figures.
