A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and hairline-thin connections and serifs, producing a crisp, sculpted texture. The serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase, giving a slightly calligraphic finish. Proportions feel generous and open, with sturdy capitals and a relatively compact, well-contained lowercase; counters are clean and rounded, and curves transition into stems with pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, cover lines, book covers, and branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can work for short editorial subheads and pull quotes, but will benefit from careful sizing and spacing to preserve delicate hairlines in smaller settings or lower-resolution output.
The overall tone is authoritative and polished, with a distinctly editorial elegance. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs create a dramatic, fashion-forward flavor while retaining a classical, bookish credibility. The feel is confident and formal rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast text serifs: refined, stylish, and assertive, with enough distinctive terminals and curves to stand out in prominent editorial and brand applications.
Details like the looped descender on the Q, the lively tail on y, and the mix of tapered and rounded terminals add personality without disrupting consistency. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and stylized, reading best when given enough size and spacing to let the hairlines breathe.
