This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings and subtly flared terminals that widen into the serif forms. Vertical stems are dominant and clean, while hairlines are extremely fine, creating a sharp, engraved rhythm. The serifs are wedge-like and pointed rather than blocky, with clear calligraphic modulation visible in diagonals and curves. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals with large, elegant bowls, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height and lively, sculpted joins.
It performs best in display contexts where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, editorial typography, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, combining classic bookish authority with a polished, fashion-forward edge. Its thin hairlines and sculpted terminals add a sense of luxury and precision, producing a confident, high-end editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished serif voice built around dramatic contrast and flared, tapered finishing. It aims to balance classical proportions with a contemporary, high-fashion sharpness for impactful, sophisticated typography.
The uppercase shows strong titling presence with clean geometry and striking contrast, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement (notably in letters with bowls and diagonals). Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and appear designed to read as elegant text figures at display sizes, with delicate curves and crisp finishing details.
