This serif displays pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, creating a sharply chiseled silhouette. Stems frequently swell into subtly flared, bracketed endings rather than blunt slabs, and many curves transition into pointed or tapered terminals. Uppercase forms are compact and tall with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and relatively narrow bowls, yielding an efficient, columnar rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with clear vertical emphasis and delicate interior joins.
Well-suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion or culture editorial layouts, and branding where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a strong voice. It can also work for short pull quotes and section heads, especially where a compact width helps fit copy into narrow columns.
The overall tone is poised and formal, with a distinctly editorial drama driven by high contrast and sculpted details. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical, balancing classic bookish familiarity with a more stylized, fashion-forward sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: compact, assertive proportions paired with sculpted flaring and bracketed serifs to add sophistication and visual tension. The focus seems to be on striking presence in display typography while maintaining a disciplined, readable rhythm in words.
Across text, the tight proportions and strong vertical cadence produce a crisp, structured texture, while the flared endings and tapered terminals add a subtle calligraphic warmth. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and sharp joins become a key part of the character, giving headings a polished, engraved-like presence.
