This typeface is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a largely vertical stress. Stems are straight and decisive, ending in sharp, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared terminals that give the strokes a carved, chiseled feel. The capitals are stately and wide-set with crisp apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y) and clean, tapering cross-strokes; the lowercase keeps a compact, controlled rhythm with sturdy verticals and tapered arms. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and fine hairline connections that read best when given room.
This font performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, deck copy, fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and high-impact posters. It can also work for short editorial passages when set large with adequate spacing, where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated without crowding.
Overall, the font projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone—confident and polished with a touch of old-world formality. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details create a premium, high-end voice suited to sophisticated branding and display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with sharp, flared finishing details—combining classical proportions with a more sculpted, contemporary edge for premium editorial and brand applications.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create a lively sparkle and a distinctly formal texture, while the slightly flared stroke endings add character beyond a purely didone-like rigidity. The design rewards generous tracking and comfortable line spacing, especially as sizes get smaller.
