A high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stems, hairline serifs, and sharp, clean terminals. Curves are smooth and taut, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress that gives the design a crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms read tall and dignified with narrow joins and finely cut details, while lowercase characters show compact, controlled shapes and clear rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate hairlines for a polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and other display applications where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits magazine typography, book covers, and luxury-oriented branding where a refined, high-end voice is desired, and can work for short editorial passages when set large with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is elegant and authoritative, with a fashion-editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest prestige and formality rather than warmth or casualness, lending a poised, upscale voice to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs: dramatic thick–thin structure, sharp finishing, and a stately rhythm that elevates titles and brand statements. Its forms prioritize elegance and visual impact over rugged everyday utility.
In text settings the thin strokes and hairline serifs create bright, shimmering intervals between letters, producing a lively but demanding texture that benefits from generous size and careful spacing. The design’s crisp edges and disciplined proportions give it a distinctly modernized classical character, especially in large titles and prominent typographic moments.
