A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly sculpted black–white rhythm. Serifs are crisp and largely bracketed, with pointed terminals and finely cut details that give counters a slightly teardrop/oval feel. Proportions are classical and steady, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes; curves show controlled modulation, and joins stay clean rather than soft. In text, the face reads with a lively, fashion-like sparkle while maintaining a traditional book-seriffed skeleton.
Well-suited to magazine typography, headlines, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are desired. It can elevate brand identities and packaging that aim for a premium, classic tone, and works effectively for book covers and pull quotes; for smaller sizes, generous spacing and careful reproduction help preserve fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and upscale, combining classical authority with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. It suggests editorial sophistication—confident, composed, and slightly theatrical due to the pronounced contrast and razor-thin hairlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast interpretation of a conventional text serif—balancing classical proportions with sharpened details for strong editorial impact. It aims to look refined and authoritative while adding visual drama through pronounced stroke modulation and crisp terminals.
The uppercase feels stately and headline-ready, while the lowercase carries a slightly calligraphic flavor in details like the ear and terminals. Numerals match the same contrasty, display-leaning construction, giving figures a prominent presence in layouts.
