A high-contrast serif with hairline connections and crisp, flared stroke endings that give the letters a subtly calligraphic, chiseled finish. The rhythm is vertical and composed, with narrow joins, pointed apexes on forms like A and V, and smooth, rounded bowls that transition quickly from thick to thin. Serifs are delicate and tapered rather than blocky, and many strokes end in fine wedge-like flicks that sharpen the overall silhouette. Lowercase forms read cleanly with a conventional structure, including a two-storey g and a curved, descending tail on q that adds a touch of flourish without becoming ornamental.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that needs a cultured, premium voice. For extended reading, it will perform most confidently at larger text sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical bookish authority with modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and restraint, with just enough flourish in terminals and tails to feel bespoke rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative and traditional in structure, yet sharpened with flared terminals and clean, sculpted curves for modern editorial and brand applications.
The numerals follow the same contrast-led logic, with slender horizontals and pronounced thick-thin modulation, making them feel suited to display contexts. In longer text, the delicate hairlines and tight transitions create a luminous, refined texture that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
