A high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and strong vertical emphasis. Stems often swell subtly toward the ends, resolving into wedge-like, flared terminals rather than blunt slabs, while joins stay crisp and controlled. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display, with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and clean, sharp serifs that keep edges decisive. Lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with compact bowls, a two-storey a and g, and teardrop-like terminals and counters that reinforce a polished, calligraphic rhythm.
Well-suited for magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and section titling where contrast and refinement can shine. It also fits luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or programs—especially when used at display sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, balancing classic book typography with a bit of theatrical contrast. It feels formal and confident, suited to settings where sophistication and hierarchy are important.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography, using flared, wedge-like endings to add sophistication and visual bite. Its proportions and stroke dynamics suggest a focus on premium editorial and brand communication rather than utilitarian body copy at small sizes.
The letterforms read best when given room to breathe: the thin hairlines and delicate terminals create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the heavier verticals keep word shapes anchored. Numerals match the serifed, high-contrast language and maintain a similarly dignified presence in text and headings.
