A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. The capitals are broad and stately with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, unbracketed-looking serifs that read as precise rather than soft. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height and a calligraphic rhythm, with compact bowls and neatly cut joins; the overall color on the page is bold yet refined due to the extreme contrast. Numerals follow the same model, with strong main strokes and delicate finishing details that keep them consistent with the text face.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine layouts where its contrast can read crisply. It also works well for formal applications such as invitations, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging, particularly at medium to large sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward classic print sophistication. Its strong contrast and sharp detailing give it a luxurious, fashion-forward edge while still feeling rooted in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: wide, poised capitals and refined hairlines that create a premium editorial feel. It prioritizes dramatic typographic presence and elegant texture in display and headline settings while remaining coherent in longer sample text.
Spacing and proportions create a composed, columnar rhythm in text, with clear differentiation between rounded and straight forms and a noticeably sculpted silhouette in letters like Q, R, and S. The thins become very delicate at small sizes, emphasizing a display-leaning character even when set in paragraphs.
