A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. Vertical stems are firm and dark, while horizontals and connecting strokes fall to very fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-contrast texture. Serifs are small and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many terminals end in tapered, wedge-like points. The proportions read compact and tall, with tight internal spacing and a steady, disciplined rhythm across capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine layouts where its contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It also works well for branding, packaging, and invitations seeking a premium, classical voice. For smaller sizes or low-resolution reproduction, its hairlines may require generous sizing and careful production.
The overall tone is poised and formal, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its steep contrast and clean hairlines lend a sense of luxury and drama, evoking fashion and cultural publishing more than everyday text. The italic slant adds motion and sophistication without becoming overly calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classical high-contrast serif: compact, assertive, and polished. Its disciplined structure and sharp finishing details prioritize elegance and impact in editorial and branding contexts.
Numerals and punctuation match the same contrast logic, with thin joins and crisp finishing details that keep the color bright and airy at larger sizes. Some letters show subtly sculpted curves and sharp entry/exit strokes that heighten the stylish, contemporary take on a classical model.
