A polished serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines set against robust main stems. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals that keep the silhouette clean and assertive. Round letters (O, C, G) show a poised, almost engraved contrast, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay razor-like and controlled. Lowercase forms are compact and disciplined, with a single-storey a and g, a narrow, straight-armed t, and a tidy i/j punctuation that reads clearly at text sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits premium branding, packaging, book covers, and formal invitations, especially when paired with generous spacing and high-quality printing or rendering.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, leaning toward a high-fashion, premium feel. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details give it a confident, formal voice that reads as classic rather than rustic or casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance, crisp detailing, and a strong editorial rhythm. Its controlled proportions and sharp terminals suggest an intention to look refined and authoritative in display and prominent text applications.
The design favors clear, vertical rhythm and crisp edge definition, which makes it look particularly strong in larger settings. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with refined curves and prominent stress, giving them a stately, display-friendly presence.
