A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and very fine hairlines against sturdier main strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving edges a crisp, engraved feel rather than a soft, calligraphic one. Many curves are slightly squared-off into rounded rectangles (notably in O, C, G, and the bowls of b/p/q), creating a distinctive, geometric rhythm. Proportions are tall and open, with a relatively large x-height and straightforward, upright construction across caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial blocks, invitations, or premium packaging copy when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the hairline structure.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, with a dramatic contrast that reads as stylish and editorial. Its crisp terminals and slightly squared curves add a controlled, contemporary edge to an otherwise classical, formal voice.
The design appears intended to blend modern geometry with a high-contrast, fashion-forward serif tradition. By combining crisp, minimally bracketed serifs with squared-off curves and tall proportions, it aims for a distinctive, upscale look that stands out in editorial and branding contexts.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline details become prominent, producing a lively shimmer at larger sizes. The numerals share the same squared-curve construction and fine cross-strokes, keeping the set visually consistent. The uppercase has a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains clarity through generous counters and a clean, even baseline.
