A high-contrast serif with crisp thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapering terminals. Serifs read as subtly flared and wedge-like rather than blocky, with smooth bracket transitions and pointed finishing strokes on several letters. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous interior space; the O is near-circular and the C/G have clean, open apertures. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a delicate, narrow-shouldered r, and a calligraphic feel in the s and y, while figures align in a traditional lining style with pronounced contrast and crisp entry/exit strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, cover lines, and title treatments where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short runs of large-sized text in books or cultural materials, particularly where a refined, classic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, projecting a composed, editorial sophistication. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast suggest fashion, culture, and literary settings, with an authoritative, slightly dramatic voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, elegant, and attention-grabbing, with flared details that add a slightly calligraphic finish. It prioritizes impact and refinement in display and editorial contexts.
At display sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals add sparkle and a sense of precision, while the wider capitals (notably M/W) provide a rhythmic, varied texture in headlines. The ampersand is ornate and curvilinear, reinforcing a classic, formal personality.
