This serif presents crisp, high-contrast construction with a predominantly vertical axis and finely cut hairlines. Stems end in small, sharp serifs that often flare subtly out of the main stroke, giving terminals a slightly sculpted, chiseled finish rather than blunt brackets. Proportions run on the condensed side with tight letterfit and tall capitals; counters are clean and open, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) transition quickly from thick to thin for a polished, print-like rhythm. In the lowercase, the forms are compact with clear ascender/descender structure, a two-storey a, and a firm, well-defined ear and terminals, keeping the texture even in continuous text.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where its fine hairlines and flared detailing can remain crisp: magazine titles, editorial headlines, book jackets, cultural branding, and formal collateral. In body copy, it will reward generous printing or screen sizes that preserve the thin strokes and maintain its refined texture.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, with a poised, slightly dramatic contrast that reads as traditional but freshly cut. It feels suited to high-end print settings—confident, composed, and quietly luxurious—without becoming overly ornamental.
The design intention appears to modernize classic high-contrast serif traditions with subtly flared, sharpened terminals and compact proportions, aiming for a sophisticated page color and strong typographic presence in editorial contexts.
Numerals and capitals share the same sharp contrast and tapered detailing, maintaining a consistent color across mixed content. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright, and the design relies on precise hairlines and pointed joins for its character.
