A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and distinctly sculpted terminals that flare as strokes resolve. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with a chiseled, slightly calligraphic modulation that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and relatively wide, while the lowercase is compact with clear counters and a moderate x-height. Curves (C, S, O) show tight, elegant transitions, and the overall color on the page is crisp despite the delicate horizontals.
Well-suited for magazine titles, fashion and lifestyle editorial layouts, luxury branding, and premium packaging where contrast and refinement are assets. It also works effectively for book covers and pull quotes, especially at display sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys an editorial, high-end tone—polished, fashion-forward, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest sophistication and authority rather than casual friendliness, lending a composed, upscale voice to headlines and short texts.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, combining traditional proportions with sharply defined hairlines and expressive, flared finishing strokes. The emphasis appears to be on elegance and presence in display and editorial contexts.
The figures mirror the same contrast and flare, with a classic, old-style sensibility in their curvature and stress. Point sizes that are too small may risk losing the finest hairlines, while larger settings emphasize the elegant stroke endings and sculpted joins.
