A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and fine hairlines, producing a crisp, elegant rhythm on the page. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed, with tapered joins and occasional pointed, calligraphic-looking terminals. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress, and round letters like O and Q feel tall and polished, while diagonals (V, W, X) are clean and taut. The lowercase has compact, well-shaped counters, a two-storey g, a long, slender f, and a small, precise dot on i/j; numerals follow the same contrasty, display-oriented logic with thin horizontals and sculpted curves.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine and editorial design, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif. It will also work well on posters and book covers where its sculpted curves and sharp serifs can be given room to show.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a fashion-forward, premium feel driven by dramatic contrast and crisp detailing. It reads as poised and classic rather than rustic or playful, projecting sophistication and a slightly theatrical presence in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and crisp detail for impactful typographic statements.
At text sizes the hairlines and tight internal details can appear delicate, while in larger settings the sharp serifs, wedge-like terminals, and sweeping curves become a defining feature. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same finely cut, high-contrast treatment, reinforcing an upscale, print-centric character.
