A high-contrast serif with a vertical, editorial rhythm and sharply articulated details. Stems are firm and straight while hairlines taper to fine, needle-like serifs and pointed terminals, giving counters a clean, carved look. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay crisp, with a subtle flaring at stroke ends that adds a cut-stone finish rather than a blunt bracket. The overall texture is bright and airy in text thanks to thin connecting strokes and generous interior space.
Best suited to large sizes where its hairline details and sharp terminals can read cleanly—magazine headlines, book and album covers, luxury branding, and refined packaging. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set with adequate size and line spacing to preserve the crisp contrast.
The tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward fashion and literary refinement. Strong contrast and sharp endings add a touch of drama and formality, while the restrained shapes keep it polished rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance and precision. The flared, tapered finishing suggests a desire for a sculpted, premium feel that stands out in display settings while remaining disciplined and typographic.
Capitals feel statuesque and display-oriented, with especially thin cross-strokes and delicate serifs that will reward careful spacing. The numerals follow the same contrast and sharp terminal language, maintaining a cohesive, upscale texture across mixed content.
