A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and sharply tapered joins against strong vertical stems. Serifs are fine and bracketed, often ending in pointed, wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a precise, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled with a relatively narrow internal rhythm, and the overall spacing reads open and airy at display sizes. The lowercase shows a traditional text structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact shoulder on r, and a delicate, short crossbar on t; numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-inflected drawing with slender diagonals and thin horizontals.
This style suits magazine and newspaper features, fashion and culture layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and refinement are desired. It also fits branding for premium goods, packaging, and event materials such as invitations and programs, and works well for book covers and display typography where its delicate detailing can be appreciated.
The typeface projects a polished, high-end tone associated with editorial typography and luxury branding. Its strong contrast and needle-like details feel formal and cultivated, lending a sense of sophistication and ceremony to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice rooted in classical proportions, emphasizing sharp contrast, crisp terminals, and a poised reading rhythm for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the hairlines and joins are extremely fine, emphasizing clean reproduction and careful sizing; the design reads most confidently when given enough scale and breathing room. Uppercase forms maintain a classical, statuesque presence, while the lowercase provides a slightly warmer, bookish texture despite the dramatic contrast.
