A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, crisp bracketed serifs, and a predominantly vertical stress. The capitals are broad and statuesque, with sharp triangular joins and fine hairlines that taper into pointed terminals. Lowercase forms keep a traditional skeleton but add angular, calligraphic inflections—noticeable in the ear of the g and the tapered entry/exit strokes—creating an energetic rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering logic, mixing sturdy main stems with delicate hairline curves for a poised, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where its contrast and tapering details can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and campaign posters, especially when paired with restrained layouts and ample spacing.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than quiet neutrality. Its sharp hairlines and assertive thick strokes suggest luxury, ceremony, and high-style presentation, while the traditional serif construction keeps it anchored in classic typographic taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on conventional text serifs—combining classical proportions with sharpened terminals and amplified contrast for attention-grabbing display use while retaining an editorial, bookish foundation.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals read as elegant details and give words a sparkling surface; in denser settings the strong contrast can create a lively, slightly strobing texture. Spacing appears generous in the samples, helping the wide capitals and deep curves breathe.
