A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in strong verticals, creating a crisp, sculptural rhythm. Serifs read as refined and lightly bracketed, with subtle flare as stems open into terminals rather than ending bluntly. Uppercase forms feel stately and wide-set with generous counters, while lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and g and compact, controlled joins. Curves are smooth and tensioned, and spacing appears open enough for display sizes while maintaining a dense, authoritative color in text.
Best suited for headlines, large pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and flared terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and fashion or culture-facing editorial layouts, and can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining classical serif credibility with a dramatic, couture-like contrast. It feels formal and premium, suited to contexts where sophistication and impact matter more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, upscale interpretation of classical serif proportions, emphasizing contrast and refined terminals for strong editorial presence. It aims for elegance and authority while keeping letterforms familiar and readable.
Figures follow the same contrast logic as the letters, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes that keep numerals looking refined in headings. The design leans on sharp apexes and thin connecting strokes, so it reads most confidently when given enough size and printing clarity.
