A high-contrast serif with tapered, subtly flared terminals and sharp wedge-like finishing strokes. Vertical stems read strong and straight, while curves are crisp and tightly controlled, creating a polished, engraved-like clarity in counters and bowls. Serifs are fine and elegant rather than blocky, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that becomes especially noticeable in diagonals and curved joins. Overall proportions feel balanced and readable, with clear differentiation between thick and hairline strokes that gives the design a poised, formal rhythm.
Well-suited for magazine headlines, book jackets, and brand identities that need an upscale, authoritative serif voice. It performs best at display and larger text sizes where its hairlines and sharp terminals can remain crisp, and it can add polish to pull quotes, section openers, and packaging-style typography.
The font conveys a refined, editorial sensibility with a hint of fashion-forward drama. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast feel premium and confident, producing a tone that is classical at first glance but styled for contemporary, high-end presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance through tapered terminals and precise finishing. Its controlled modulation and sharp details suggest a focus on premium editorial and branding contexts where a sophisticated, attention-grabbing serif is desirable.
Capitals show a strong, statuesque presence with clean, pointed details, while the lowercase maintains a steady, bookish texture without becoming soft. Numerals carry the same contrast and crisp terminals, helping them sit naturally in display settings and mixed typography.
