A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and strong, sculpted stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a sharp, carved finish. The letterforms show a pronounced vertical stress and a lively rhythm created by alternating thick and thin strokes, with slightly flared joins and tight, elegant apertures. Capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase adds a touch of calligraphic flair through curved entry strokes, distinctive ear/terminal shapes, and dynamic bowls.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and brand typography where a refined, attention-grabbing serif is desired. It also works well for book covers and titling, particularly in contexts that benefit from a dramatic, high-end look.
The overall tone is confident and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward presence. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing create a sense of drama and sophistication that reads as classic rather than rustic or casual.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, editorial interpretation of classic high-contrast serif construction—prioritizing elegance, impact, and crisp detail for display and prominent text settings.
In text, the strong contrast produces a clear hierarchy and a striking color on the page, especially at larger sizes. Curved letters and diagonals (like S, Q, and R) emphasize the face’s sculptural quality, while the numerals share the same polished, display-leaning refinement.
