This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with a vertical stress and very fine hairlines. Serifs are slender and sharp, with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a crisp, cut-in look at joins and terminals. Capitals are relatively tall and statuesque, with generous internal space (notably in C, G, O, and Q) and a refined, high-contrast rhythm. The lowercase keeps a traditional, bookish structure with two-storey a and g, a modest x-height, and narrow hairline connections that accentuate the contrast. Numerals echo the same high-contrast logic, with strong verticals and delicate curves and terminals.
Well suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, book covers, cultural posters, and luxury branding where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short-form text in print or high-resolution digital contexts when sized and spaced to preserve its hairline detail.
The overall tone is poised and high-end, projecting an editorial, literary seriousness. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details create a sense of refinement and ceremony, reading as classic and polished rather than casual or utilitarian.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice with a modern, crisp finish—emphasizing elegance, verticality, and typographic drama for refined editorial and brand applications.
The design relies on extremely thin horizontals and serifs, which heightens sparkle in large sizes but can make fine details feel fragile at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The sample text shows a clean, even texture for a high-contrast serif, with noticeable emphasis from strong vertical stems and delicate connecting strokes.
