This serif shows a tall, compact set with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a largely vertical stress. Stems are firm and straight, while joins and terminals have a subtly calligraphic, flared behavior that softens the transitions into the serifs. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp, pointed details on letters like V, W, and y, and a slightly sculpted, wedge-like finishing on many lowercases. The overall rhythm is tight and disciplined, with relatively small counters in several glyphs and a strong emphasis on vertical strokes.
It performs best in headlines, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. The narrow, upright build makes it useful for space-conscious titling, while the refined serif treatment suits premium branding, packaging, and formal invitations. For long text, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes and with careful spacing.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a sharper, fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast detailing and tapered endings give it a sense of luxury and drama without becoming ornamental. Overall it feels confident, formal, and suited to refined presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end serif voice rooted in classical proportions, emphasizing contrast and tapered terminals for impact. It aims to provide a distinctive editorial texture—authoritative in caps, expressive in lowercase—while staying versatile for polished display typography.
The lowercase shows a distinctly shaped italic-like influence in some terminals (notably a, e, r, and y), adding personality while staying controlled. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and authoritative, with clear silhouettes and crisp apexes that help maintain clarity at display sizes.
