A high-contrast serif with thick, weighty main strokes and extremely fine hairlines and serifs. The letterforms feel carved and slightly calligraphic: stress is evident in rounded shapes, and terminals often flare into sharp wedges or beak-like tips. Serifs are small but crisp, with tight joins and occasional bracketed transitions, giving a polished, print-oriented rhythm. Overall proportions read substantial and display-leaning, while counters remain fairly open for a dense, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, magazine and editorial layouts, and brand marks that benefit from a strong, refined serif voice. It can work for short text passages when set with generous size and spacing, but it visually excels where its hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is formal and editorial, pairing classic bookish credibility with a fashionable, high-drama sheen. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a luxe, boutique feel, while the heavy backbone projects authority and confidence.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic contrast serif: commanding weight, elegant hairlines, and sharp, fashion-forward detailing intended to elevate editorial and branding typography.
The design leans on contrast-driven detail: thin cross-strokes and hairline connections can appear delicate at smaller sizes, while large sizes emphasize the refined serif work and the chiseled curves. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with prominent verticals and fine finishing strokes.
