A modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs that often end in pointed, wedge-like terminals. The structure is upright with broad proportions and generous horizontal presence, creating an expansive rhythm across lines. Counters are relatively open and the joins are clean, with a smooth, calligraphic influence visible in the way curves transition into hairlines. The italic is not shown; the roman exhibits a polished, contemporary Didone-leaning finish with controlled detailing and consistent spacing.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where a sophisticated tone is desired, particularly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers. It can also support luxury branding, packaging, and campaign work that benefits from crisp contrast and a modern classic serif character. In smaller sizes, the fine hairlines and sharp joins suggest it will perform best with adequate resolution and comfortable leading.
This typeface conveys a poised, editorial sophistication with a distinctly fashionable, high-end tone. The sharp contrast and crisp finishing details add a sense of drama and precision, reading as confident and cultivated rather than casual. Overall it feels refined, classical, and slightly theatrical in display settings while remaining composed in continuous text.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and contemporary, with enough refinement to hold up in longer passages. Its wide stance and sharp detailing suggest a focus on strong typographic presence—especially in titles and brand-forward settings—while maintaining orderly, readable letterforms.
The figures shown are lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the uppercase’s formal tone. The overall color on the page is bright and lively due to the strong modulation, with a distinctive, slightly sharp silhouette created by the pointed serif treatment and thin connecting strokes.
