A high-contrast serif with a tight, compact fit and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with predominantly vertical stress, and many joins transition into subtly flared terminals that give stems a slightly sculpted, chiseled finish. The overall rhythm is upright and orderly, with narrow capitals, compact lowercase, and clean counters; diagonals and curves stay taut, producing a sharp, print-oriented texture.
This font is well suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where high contrast and sharp serifs can provide elegance and hierarchy. It will also work effectively on book covers and poster typography, especially in larger sizes where its flared terminals and crisp stroke transitions can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and editorial, balancing classical seriousness with a slightly dramatic, fashion-leaning sparkle from the contrast. It reads as confident and authoritative, with a refined sharpness that feels suited to curated, high-end communication rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, using tapered serifs and flared endings to create a distinctive, sculpted silhouette. Its proportions and contrast suggest it is optimized for expressive, premium-looking composition while maintaining a traditional, readable structure.
Capitals are tall and dignified with strong verticals, while lowercase forms keep a traditional serif skeleton and a restrained, bookish cadence. Numerals maintain the same contrast and crisp terminals, integrating smoothly with text for display lines and typographic settings that benefit from a bright, high-contrast color.
