A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and sturdier verticals, drawing much of its character from tapered, flaring stroke endings and finely cut terminals. Serifs are compact and sharp with a lightly bracketed, chiseled feel rather than broad slabs. Capitals are tall and sleek, with narrow bowls and tight apertures (notably in C, G, and S), while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and a clean, vertical stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, and diagonals in letters like V, W, and X resolve into pointed, elegant joins that emphasize a crisp rhythm across text.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where its contrast and tapered detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also support refined branding and packaging, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean layouts.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a more fashion-forward sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and tapered details create a sense of drama and sophistication that reads as premium and carefully composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegant tapering and flared finishing for visual sparkle in display and editorial settings.
In text, the lively contrast and pointed terminals add sparkle, while the narrow proportions keep lines compact. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with distinctive curves and tapered finishing, helping figures stand out in headings and pull quotes.
