A high-contrast serif with heavy vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines, producing a striking, glossy rhythm. Serifs are crisp and generally bracketed, with pointed wedge-like terminals in places and occasional ball terminals (notably in the lowercase). The uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase shows more sculpting and calligraphic modulation, including a double-storey “g” and a single-storey “a,” plus distinctive ear/terminal shapes on letters like “r” and “f.” Counters are fairly open for the weight, and curves are cleanly tensioned, giving the design a polished, print-like finish.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial typography where high contrast can be showcased. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a classic serif voice is desired and sizes allow the fine hairlines to remain clear.
The font projects an editorial, high-end tone—confident, refined, and slightly theatrical due to the extreme stroke contrast. It reads as classic and formal, with a fashion-magazine sensibility that adds drama without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: authoritative uppercase structure paired with more expressive, sculpted lowercase details. Its primary goal seems to be creating a luxurious, attention-grabbing typographic color for display-led applications while retaining recognizable, conventional letterforms.
Figures are sturdy and display-oriented, with strong vertical emphasis and delicate internal joins that reinforce the contrast. The overall texture in paragraphs is dense and dark, with sparkling highlights from hairlines and serifs; this creates a premium feel but also makes the design most at home at larger sizes or with generous spacing.
