This typeface is a high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and fuller verticals that often swell subtly toward terminals. Serifs are crisp and wedge-like with gentle bracketing, giving many strokes a flared, carved quality rather than blunt endings. The overall drawing is upright with elegant, narrow joins and tight apertures in places, while round letters show a smooth, controlled modulation. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, with distinctive, angular diagonals and pointed terminals on letters like V, W, and Y; the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a double-storey g and a calligraphic, sweeping tail on y.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that need an elevated, premium voice. It can also work effectively on posters and packaging where crisp contrast and sculptural serifs can be reproduced cleanly.
The font reads as polished and fashion-forward, balancing classic bookish sophistication with a sharp, modern edge. Its dramatic contrast and crisp terminals create a sense of luxury and ceremony, suited to expressive, high-end typography rather than purely utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, contemporary serif with calligraphic modulation and flared, sharpened terminals for strong visual impact. It aims to provide a distinctive editorial color and luxury feel while retaining familiar letter structures for readability in short text.
In display sizes the contrast and flared terminals look intentional and sculptural, while in smaller settings the finest hairlines may require careful use on high-quality output. Figures appear lining and proportioned to match the uppercase presence, reinforcing a headline-oriented tone.
