A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical stems read firm and straight while joins and curves transition into hairlines with pronounced modulation, producing a refined, engraved feel. Capitals are stately with ample bowl shapes and sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W), while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height and lively rhythm through open counters and tightly controlled curves. Numerals echo the same tension between thick stems and hairline details, giving figures a formal, display-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and poster typography, especially when set at larger sizes on clean backgrounds where its hairline elements remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, pairing classical elegance with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its strong contrast and flaring finishes suggest premium editorial styling and a confident, curated voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif forms—emphasizing dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a polished editorial rhythm for impactful display typography.
Spacing and letterfit appear designed to hold together in headlines while still showing off delicate hairlines; the thin strokes and pointed terminals become a key part of the texture. Several forms lean into striking silhouettes (such as the angular diagonals in X and the sculpted curves in S and G), reinforcing a distinctly display-forward character.
