A high-contrast serif with broad, stately proportions and crisp hairline detailing. Stems are strongly vertical with sharp, tapered serifs and delicate linking strokes, producing a distinctly chiseled rhythm. Counters tend toward compact, oval forms, and several letters show sculptural terminals—most notably in S, a, and the figures—where thin entry strokes and swelling curves create a carved, calligraphic snap. Overall spacing reads generous in display sizes, with a consistent, polished finish and clear emphasis on vertical stress.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and campaign graphics where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It can work for short, high-impact subheads or pull quotes, especially when ample size and careful reproduction preserve the hairlines.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, projecting a premium editorial feel. Its pronounced contrast and knife-edge details convey sophistication and a fashion-forward attitude, while the slightly expressive terminals add a hint of drama and personality.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, editorial serif that balances classic high-contrast models with modern, sharply cut terminals and broad proportions. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement for high-end display settings over utilitarian, small-size text use.
The numerals are bold and characterful, with curving forms and fine hairline connections that match the caps. The lowercase shows traditional, text-serif structure but leans display-like through contrast and refined terminals, making it best appreciated at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain visible.
