This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, sturdy vertical stems, and finely bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, pointed terminals. Proportions are compact and somewhat condensed, giving words a tight, vertical rhythm, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show smooth modulation and a slightly calligraphic stress. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g with small, rounded ears and clean, teardrop-like joins; the i/j dots are round and prominent. Figures are lining and similarly contrasty, with distinctive curves and ball-like terminals on several forms (notably 2, 3, 5, 6, 9), reinforcing the font’s sculpted, display-leaning detail at text sizes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style display typography, pull quotes, section heads, and book or album covers where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially when set at larger sizes with careful tracking to manage its tight proportions and delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and fashion-forward, with a classic editorial sophistication. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details lend a confident, upscale voice that feels formal and dramatic without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif foundation with heightened contrast for a more dramatic, contemporary editorial look. It emphasizes elegance and authority through narrow proportions, crisp serifs, and carefully modeled curves.
The sample text shows strong sparkle from the hairlines and a pronounced dark/light pattern across words, producing a crisp page color at larger sizes. Capitals read authoritative and slightly monumental, while the lowercase maintains a measured, traditional bookish cadence with refined details that reward generous spacing and print-like contexts.
