A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, sharp hairlines, and weighty vertical stems. Serifs are finely tapered and often bracketed, with occasional spur-like terminals that give several letters a slightly calligraphic finish. The design leans expansive in its set, with broad rounds and generous interior counters, while joins and curves show a sculpted, high-fashion modulation. Lowercase forms include a single-storey a and g, and details like the ear on g and the angled entry/exit strokes add a subtly swashy texture without becoming a script.
Best suited to headlines, large-size editorial typography, and brand applications where contrast and character are desirable. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the hairlines and ornamental terminals are likely to be most effective at medium to large sizes and in high-quality print or high-resolution digital settings.
The overall tone is stylish and assertive—classic enough to feel editorial, but dramatic in its contrast and distinctive terminals. It suggests luxury branding and magazine typography, with a slightly theatrical flair that reads as curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif base with fashion-forward contrast and refined, slightly ornamental terminals. It prioritizes impact and elegance, aiming for a premium editorial voice while maintaining recognizable serif construction.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially around rounded letters and diagonals, while the heavy stems keep the color dense and impactful. Numerals echo the same sculpted modulation, with curled or teardrop-like terminals on several figures that push the personality toward display use.
