A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted letterforms and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The serifs are sharp and often slightly flared, with subtle bracketing that gives stroke endings a carved, tapered feel rather than blunt terminals. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while joins and vertices stay clean and decisive, producing a polished, print-forward texture. Spacing reads even in text, with a steady rhythm and clear differentiation between capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can add hierarchy and character. It also works for book and magazine covers, premium branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, classic serif voice, while remaining readable in short-to-medium text settings.
The overall tone feels editorial and elevated, pairing classical cues with a slightly dramatic edge from the contrast and sharp terminals. It suggests sophistication and authority without becoming overly ornamental, making it feel at home in premium, literary, or brand-led contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant curves, disciplined proportions, and flared, sharpened endings that create a distinctive, upscale texture. It aims to balance readability with a fashion/editorial sensibility for versatile use across display and text-adjacent applications.
Capitals present a stately presence with open counters and controlled width, while lowercase maintains a traditional, readable structure and a balanced x-height. The numerals match the text color well, carrying the same contrast and tapered endings for consistent typographic voice across display and running sizes.
