A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered joins and pronounced modulation that gives strokes a chiseled, calligraphic feel. Serifs are slender and well-defined with subtle flaring into terminals, and many curves finish in fine points, creating a crisp, polished edge. Capitals appear stately and relatively narrow with strong vertical emphasis, while lowercase forms keep a smooth rhythm and clear counters; the two-storey a and g read as traditional and bookish. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin hairlines and confident, weighty main strokes, producing a distinctly formal texture in running text.
This face is best suited to display and editorial settings where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and high-end branding. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or large on-screen sizes where the hairlines remain comfortably visible.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals feel fashion-forward and premium, while the classical skeleton keeps it anchored in traditional typographic taste.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif proportions with a contemporary, fashion-oriented sharpness. The flared stroke endings and disciplined contrast suggest a focus on sophistication and impact, optimized for prominent typographic moments rather than purely utilitarian reading sizes.
In paragraphs, the contrast creates a lively sparkle: hairlines recede while verticals carry the voice, lending a dramatic, headline-friendly color. The ampersand and curved terminals add a touch of flair without tipping into ornament.
