This serif has sharply defined, high-contrast strokes with thick verticals and hairline horizontals and joins. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into tapered, wedge-like terminals, giving many letters a carved, sculptural feel. The proportions are generous and open, with a steady vertical axis, crisp curves, and a rhythm that emphasizes strong stems and fine connecting strokes. Lowercase forms show a traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” compact ear on “g,” and pronounced entry/exit shaping that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits brand marks, beauty/fashion identity work, and premium packaging, particularly when set large with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookishness with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals communicate luxury and confidence, making text feel formal and deliberately composed.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary display serif that modernizes classic proportions through extreme contrast and sharply tapered detailing. It prioritizes elegance and impact, creating a distinctive silhouette for titles and brand-forward typography.
Capitals are especially assertive, with angular apexes and prominent wedge terminals that heighten contrast and sparkle. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairline details that suit large, high-impact settings.
