A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp triangular/bracketed serifs, and a distinctly sculpted, slightly calligraphic stress. Capitals are broad and commanding with sharp apexes (notably in A and W) and strong vertical stems, while rounds (C, G, O, Q) show taut curves and pinpointed terminals. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact counters, with teardrop/ball-like terminals on several forms (notably f and y) and a sturdy, weighty rhythm in text. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and display-oriented, with dramatic curves and wedge-like finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine/editorial typography where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, fashion/beauty applications, and premium packaging where a bold, refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, mixing classical bookish cues with a contemporary, editorial sharpness. Its contrast and pointed detailing give it a sense of prestige and drama, suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a conventional serif by amplifying contrast, sharpening serifs, and adding expressive terminal details. It prioritizes impact and elegance, aiming for a refined editorial presence with strong display performance.
In running text the heavy vertical emphasis and sharp terminals create a strong texture; the design reads best when given room and careful spacing. The distinctive terminal treatments and contrast make letterforms highly characterful, especially in large sizes.
