A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, tapered terminals. The thick stems stay firm while hairline horizontals and joins snap into fine points, giving many letters wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings. Proportions feel compact and economical, with tight counters and a steady rhythm across caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with a small, sharp-shouldered r, a two-storey g, and a teardrop-like ear on the a; numerals follow the same contrast logic with delicate curves and thin entry strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short blocks of text in print or high-resolution digital contexts, especially where a sophisticated editorial voice is desired.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, mixing refinement with a slightly cutting sharpness from the hairline details. It reads as premium and fashion-forward, with a classical foundation that feels suited to polished, high-end typography.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, modern-classic serif voice with dramatic contrast and refined finishing. Its narrow, compact fit and crisp terminals suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still maintains traditional letterform discipline.
In larger sizes the hairlines and pointed transitions become a defining feature, creating sparkle and strong vertical emphasis. The font’s compact set width and tight apertures give it a dense, authoritative presence, while the high contrast can make fine details visually fragile at small sizes or in low-resolution settings.
