A sharply modeled serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a compact, vertical stance. Stems are dark and straight, while curves resolve into fine hairlines, giving counters a crisp, carved feel. Serifs are small and pointed with clean bracket transitions, and terminals tend toward tapered, knife-like endings. Proportions are tightly set with narrow letters and a steady rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure with two-storey forms and restrained apertures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a premium, classic voice, particularly when set with generous tracking and ample white space.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a cool, high-fashion severity. Its high-contrast detailing reads as luxurious and authoritative, suited to settings where refinement and hierarchy are important.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif look with a condensed footprint, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama for prominent text. It emphasizes crisp detailing and strong vertical structure to create clear hierarchy and a distinctly refined presence.
At display sizes the delicate hairlines and sharp joins become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture in mixed-case text. The numerals and capitals share the same condensed, high-contrast logic, supporting strong vertical emphasis in titles and headings.
