This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered stroke endings that often flare subtly where stems meet terminals and serifs. Capitals are elegant and stately with sharp apexes and fine hairlines, while round letters show a controlled, elliptical stress and clean interior counters. The lowercase balances a relatively moderate x-height with long, confident ascenders and descenders, and it uses wedge-like terminals that keep the forms feeling chiseled rather than soft. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with delicate hairline curves for a polished, display-oriented rhythm.
Best used for headlines, pull quotes, magazine covers, and brand identities where its contrast and tapered detailing can read cleanly. It also suits luxury packaging and display typography that benefits from a crisp, engraved-like finish, while extended small text would require generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and fashion-forward, combining classical bookish cues with a contemporary, high-drama contrast. It feels premium and deliberate—more suited to curated, aspirational messaging than casual utility text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with flared, calligraphic terminals that add elegance and authority. It aims for strong visual presence and a premium feel, prioritizing striking texture and refined detail in display settings.
Large sizes reveal especially sharp joins and pointed details, while the very thin horizontals and hairlines become a defining feature of the texture. The letterforms maintain a consistent, sculptural tension between broad verticals and razor-fine connecting strokes, producing a bright, high-end page color in headlines.
