A sharply contrasted serif with a distinctly vertical, engraved feel. Stems are heavy and steady while hairlines and serifs drop to very fine, crisp strokes, producing strong light–dark rhythm in both text and display sizes. Serifs are slender and precise with minimal bracketing, and the joins and terminals feel cleanly cut rather than rounded. Uppercase proportions read stately and compact, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-seriffed structure with clear counters and a measured, readable x-height. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with refined curves and thin cross strokes that emphasize the type’s elegant tension.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and fine detailing can read cleanly. It also fits high-end branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, classic serif voice, and editorial layouts where a luxurious, high-contrast texture is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion/editorial sheen. Its pronounced contrast and razor-like detailing communicate sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward headline drama than casual everyday texture.
The type appears intended to deliver a refined, high-impact serif voice with pronounced light–dark dynamics—optimized for elegance and emphasis rather than neutrality. Its controlled geometry and delicate hairlines suggest a focus on premium editorial and branding contexts where crisp detail is part of the aesthetic.
In longer lines, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture that can feel delicate at smaller sizes, while large settings amplify its sculptural curves and crisp axis. The design’s rhythm is driven by strong verticals and tight, controlled detailing, giving it a distinctly formal presence.
