A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and a decidedly vertical stress. The uppercase forms feel stately and compact in their internal counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, a small-shouldered r, and delicate entry/exit strokes that taper into fine terminals. Curves are smooth and polished, with occasional ball terminals and sharply pointed junctions that add bite to the rhythm. Numerals follow the same display-leaning contrast, with sculpted bowls and thin connecting strokes that read best at larger sizes.
This font is best used for display roles such as magazine titles, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, invitations, and poster typography. It can work for short pull quotes or deck copy when set with adequate size and leading, but it is most compelling when allowed to show off its high-contrast detailing.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with a modern, fashion-forward sheen. Its pronounced contrast and razor-fine details create a sense of luxury and formality, suited to headlines that want to feel elevated and intentional.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, emphasizing elegance, vertical poise, and dramatic thick–thin transitions. It prioritizes polished shapes and refined finishing for impactful, upscale typography in editorial and brand contexts.
In text settings the hairline details and tight apertures can appear delicate, so generous size and comfortable spacing help preserve clarity. The design’s consistent verticality and precise terminals give it a clean, editorial cadence rather than a casual or handwritten feel.
