A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered, wedge-like entry and exit strokes that give many letters a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are elegant and somewhat narrow in stance, while the overall rhythm remains controlled and formal; curves are smooth and the joins are clean. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, with delicate connections and thin cross-strokes that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and premium brand identities where the contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short passages in controlled print or high-resolution settings, but longer body text will typically benefit from generous size, leading, and careful reproduction.
The tone is refined and upscale, pairing classical bookishness with a fashion-forward polish. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details evoke sophistication and ceremony rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a traditional high-contrast serif, emphasizing elegance and visual drama for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Thin horizontals and hairline serifs become especially fragile in dense text, so spacing and size will strongly affect clarity. The design favors a graceful vertical emphasis and produces a bright, airy texture when set large.
