A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing thick, solid stems with razor-thin connecting strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving the forms a clean, engraved feel without heavy bracketed buildup. Proportions lean classical with relatively narrow internal apertures and a calm, even rhythm across text; capitals read tall and dignified, while lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and thin terminals that feel consistent with the letterforms.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where its contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages in print-oriented contexts, especially when set with comfortable leading and at sizes that preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashion/editorial sophistication. Its delicate hairlines and poised shapes convey refinement and authority, leaning more toward prestige and ceremony than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif principles: dramatic contrast, disciplined proportions, and crisp detailing for elevated editorial and branding applications.
In text, the contrast creates a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the thinnest strokes become the primary constraint as sizes drop or reproduction gets rough. The italics are not shown, and the upright roman carries the character through high-contrast joins, sharp terminals, and composed spacing.
