This typeface is a high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weight concentrated in vertical stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and crisp, giving strokes a sculpted, cut-like finish. Curves are smooth and tight with small apertures, and many joins resolve into pointed, wedge-like terminals. Lowercase forms show a relatively tall x-height and compact internal counters, with a lively rhythm created by the strong thick–thin modulation and slightly varying character widths.
Best suited for display and headline settings where its contrast and fine details can stay crisp—magazine titles, editorial spreads, book covers, and premium branding. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, but its delicate hairlines suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial sense of drama. Its sharp detailing and glossy contrast feel formal and fashion-forward, while the traditional serif construction keeps it anchored in classic print typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a conventional text serif: familiar proportions and reading cues, elevated by dramatic contrast and precise finishing. It aims to project refinement and authority while remaining versatile enough for a broad range of editorial typography.
The caps read authoritative and statuesque, while the lowercase introduces more personality through ball terminals and teardrop-like finishing on forms such as the a, c, and f. Numerals share the same high-contrast logic and look designed to sit comfortably alongside text rather than as purely geometric figures.
