A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines, built on a largely vertical stress. Serifs are finely cut and mostly bracketed, with sharp triangular entrances and exits that give the outlines a crisp, chiseled feel. Counters tend to be compact and apertures relatively tight, while curves swell into pronounced thick–thin modulation; several lowercase forms show soft ball-like terminals and teardrop finishing details that add a slightly calligraphic bite. Overall spacing reads confident and display-leaning, with sturdy capitals and compact, energetic lowercase rhythm.
Best suited to large-size settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, luxury branding, and poster typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or deck copy when given adequate size and spacing to preserve the hairlines and crisp serifs.
The tone is emphatic and upscale, with a dramatic, editorial voice reminiscent of fashion and high-end publishing. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted joins convey precision and formality, while the rounded terminals keep it from feeling purely austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif look with classic roots, optimized for impactful display typography and premium editorial presence. Its combination of sharp serifs, tight apertures, and occasional rounded terminals suggests a balance of refinement and theatrical punch.
Numerals follow the same carved, high-contrast logic, with crisp hairline joins and weight concentrated on verticals. The alphabet shows a consistent system of thin top serifs and pointed feet, producing a strong baseline snap and a polished, print-forward texture in paragraphs and headlines alike.
