A high-contrast serif with wide, confident proportions and crisp hairline serifs. The stroke modulation is pronounced, pairing very thin connecting strokes with broad verticals, while curves show a smooth, calligraphic stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing in places, and several letters feature tapered or slightly splayed terminals that add snap to the silhouettes. Lowercase forms are sturdy and open, with distinctive ball-like terminals and wedge-like finishing strokes on select characters, giving the texture a lively, patterned rhythm in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where the sharp contrast and wide proportions can shine—magazine titles, editorial layouts, book covers, and pull quotes. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes with ample leading, especially in print-oriented compositions where fine hairlines remain crisp.
The overall tone feels editorial and polished, with a dramatic fashion-magazine contrast and a classical bookish backbone. It reads as confident and formal, but the pointed terminals and occasional ball details add a touch of charm and personality rather than pure austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary editorial serif voice: classic proportions and readable forms paired with dramatic contrast and fashionable detailing. Its consistent modulation and refined terminals suggest an emphasis on high-impact typography with a premium, publishing-oriented feel.
In text, the strong contrast produces a crisp light–dark cadence and emphasizes vertical rhythm. The wide capitals and generous spacing make headlines feel expansive, while the lowercase maintains clarity through rounded bowls and clear counters. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast, with a mix of angular cuts and curved, ornamental finishing details.
