A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes shift rapidly from thick verticals to hairline joins, creating a polished, rhythmic texture that stays controlled rather than overly ornate. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic in their stress, with occasional pointed beaks and angled entry/exit strokes that add bite to counters and joins. Uppercase forms read stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a traditional, text-friendly build with a relatively moderate x-height and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can support premium branding and packaging applications that benefit from a refined, classic serif voice, and works effectively for short passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a dramatic “black-on-white” presence that suggests prestige and editorial confidence. Its sharp details and glossy contrast lend a refined, upscale voice, balancing classic bookish cues with a more contemporary, attention-grabbing finish.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure with amplified contrast and sharply finished serifs, producing an elegant, high-impact reading of familiar letterforms. It prioritizes sophistication and visual punch, aiming for a confident editorial and branding aesthetic.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes they may require careful spacing and reproduction to preserve the crisp joins and thin connections. Numerals and capitals appear designed for display-like clarity, with strong vertical emphasis and clean silhouettes.
