A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical stems, producing a crisp, sculpted color on the page. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with pointed terminals that give many letters a slightly chiseled finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and compact, with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase shows a conventional book-ish structure and moderate x-height. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are smoothly drawn but end in decisive, angular cuts, and the numerals follow the same display-leaning contrast and sharp finishing.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, book covers, and promotional typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact passages and pull quotes, especially when given sufficient size and leading.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a dramatic, fashion-forward contrast that reads as formal and confident. Its sharp terminals and polished rhythm evoke classic print typography while still feeling crisp and contemporary in presentation.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with elevated contrast and sharpened finishing, aiming for a polished editorial voice and strong typographic presence in display settings.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast and fine hairlines create a lively texture at larger sizes, while the pointed joins and terminals add visual sparkle. Dense setting emphasizes the font’s strong vertical cadence, so spacing and size choice will meaningfully affect perceived darkness and clarity.
