A strongly sculpted serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced contrast between thick stems and fine connecting strokes. The letterforms feel broad and stable, with ample interior space and a slightly high-waisted distribution of weight that enhances the vertical rhythm. Serifs are refined and mostly bracketed, forming crisp wedges and delicate hooks in places, while curves are tightly controlled for a polished, print-forward texture. The lowercase shows a compact, traditional structure with a two-storey “g” and a notable teardrop-like ear on “g,” plus sturdy, rounded bowls that keep counters open despite the heavy main strokes.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and editorial settings where its contrast and crisp details can be appreciated. It also works well for brand identities, packaging, and event materials that call for a classic yet assertive serif presence.
The overall tone is formal and stylish, combining classical bookish cues with a more dramatic, fashion-oriented contrast. It reads as confident and premium, with a tailored elegance that feels at home in curated, high-end contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast interpretation of a conventional serif: elegant enough for editorial work, but bold and wide enough to command attention in display roles. Its consistent sculpting across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on cohesive, premium typographic voice rather than neutrality.
At text sizes the strong contrast and fine serifs create a lively sparkle, especially in dense settings; generous width helps maintain legibility and keeps counters from clogging. The numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with sharp joins and refined terminals that match the caps.
