A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring terminals that give vertical stems a subtly swelling, chiseled feel. Hairlines are extremely fine against strong main strokes, producing a crisp, glossy texture in text. Serifs and terminals are tapered and wedge-like rather than blocky, with pointed joins and a slightly calligraphic stroke modulation. Proportions feel formal and text-oriented: lowercase is relatively tall and open, with compact apertures and clean, disciplined curves; the overall rhythm is steady but with noticeable width variation between letters.
Best suited to editorial typography—magazine titles, feature headings, pull quotes, and sophisticated book or album covers. It also fits luxury branding and packaging where a sharp, high-contrast serif can signal craft and prestige. Use at display and larger text sizes to preserve the thin strokes and crisp terminals.
The tone is polished and confident, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted endings convey elegance and drama, making it feel premium and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on high-contrast, flared serif letterforms: classical proportions and disciplined text color, enhanced with sharp hairlines and sculptural terminals for elevated, attention-grabbing typography.
The design rewards generous sizes and good reproduction: the finest hairlines and delicate joins read as intentional detail, while the heavier verticals anchor the page. Numerals share the same high-contrast, tapered logic, with a refined, traditional presence suited to typographic settings where figures are seen alongside text.
