A high-contrast display serif with a crisp, vertical stance and sharply tapered hairlines against heavy stems. Curves are smooth and broadly rounded, while joins often resolve into wedge-like connections that create a slightly calligraphic rhythm without italic slant. Serifs read as compact and largely bracketed, with frequent teardrop and ball-like terminals in the lowercase, giving the forms a sculpted, ink-trap-adjacent feel at stress points. Proportions are generous and open in the counters, with a fairly tall cap presence and lively width variation across glyphs that adds a dynamic cadence in words.
Best suited to headlines, large-scale editorial typography, and brand marks where contrast and terminal details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine layouts, fashion and beauty packaging, and event posters, and can also serve as a strong typographic accent paired with a quieter text face.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classic bookish authority with a modern editorial edge. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals suggest luxury, sophistication, and a curated, high-fashion sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast serif tradition, optimized for impactful display settings while retaining enough classical structure to feel timeless. Its distinctive terminals and wedge-like joins aim to add recognizable character and a premium, crafted finish.
The figures and capitals carry strong poster energy, while the lowercase introduces distinctive terminal shapes that become a defining texture in text. At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed interior details read especially crisp, emphasizing elegance and tension between thick and thin strokes.
