A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and sharp, finely tapered serifs. Stems are sturdy and upright while hairlines and crossbars stay exceptionally thin, creating a crisp, incisive texture. The capitals feel stately and relatively wide with strong horizontals, and the lowercase maintains a conventional book face structure with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and clean joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same refined contrast, with delicate joins and small finishing strokes that emphasize precision at display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the high contrast can provide drama and sophistication. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, as well as brand identities that benefit from a classic, upscale serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking classic editorial typography and luxury branding. Its razor-thin hairlines and confident vertical rhythm lend a poised, formal voice that reads as premium and carefully composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading and display serif with an emphasis on elegance and typographic refinement. Its proportions and detailing suggest a focus on editorial clarity paired with a premium, fashion-forward finish.
In text, the contrast produces a bright, sparkling rhythm, especially in mixed-case settings where thick stems anchor lines and hairlines add shimmer. The design rewards generous sizes and comfortable line spacing, where the fine details remain clear and the letterforms feel most composed.
