A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and subtly flared stroke endings that give many terminals a tapered, chiseled finish. The capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, with crisp, triangular serifs and clean joins; curves are smooth and controlled, with pronounced thick–thin transitions in C, G, O, and Q. The lowercase maintains a traditional book face structure with a moderate x-height, narrow apertures, and lively details such as the angled, calligraphic ear on the g and a slender, gently hooked f. Numerals are lining and similarly contrasty, with elegant thin links and strong main strokes that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book and film titles, and premium branding where high contrast can be showcased. It can also support short-form text such as pull quotes or introductory paragraphs when set large enough, especially in print-oriented layouts where fine hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a premium, fashion-forward seriousness. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin hairlines add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, while the flared endings lend a subtly carved, crafted character rather than a purely mechanical Didone feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-end serif voice rooted in classical forms, combining disciplined proportions with dramatic contrast and flared finishing strokes to create strong headline presence and an upscale editorial texture.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in text, but the hairlines and delicate serifs make the design feel most confident when given room to breathe. The ampersand is bold and decorative, matching the font’s editorial emphasis and giving punctuation a prominent, styled presence.
