A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, set on relatively generous proportions. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered transitions that give the strokes a carved, fashion-forward sheen rather than a purely mechanical feel. The uppercase shows a stately, display-oriented rhythm with slightly expressive diagonals (notably in letters like K, R, and X), while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure and steady x-height. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, and the overall texture in text is bold and punchy, with clear thick–thin modulation throughout letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand applications where contrast and elegance are an asset. It will also work for posters and pull quotes, and can be used for short passages when a bold, editorial voice is desired.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, high-end mood. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing details suggest sophistication and formality, reading as confident and premium rather than casual or utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver a modernized classic serif look: traditional construction paired with heightened contrast and refined detailing for impactful, upscale typography.
In paragraph settings the strong vertical emphasis creates a pronounced light–dark pattern, which can feel striking and stylish at larger sizes. The letterforms show a mix of classical proportions and slightly stylized terminals that push it toward display use, while still retaining a conventional serif foundation.
