A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed feel, and terminals resolve cleanly into hairlines, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved quality. Capitals are statuesque and slightly narrow in feeling, while the lowercase maintains a moderate, readable x-height with compact bowls and tight apertures that preserve contrast. Curves and joins are controlled and smooth, and overall spacing reads measured rather than loose, producing a polished, editorial rhythm.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and sophisticated branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It also fits book covers, posters, and invitations that benefit from a classic, refined serif voice, and can work for short text passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, with a dramatic sparkle at display sizes. Its fine serifs and steep contrast convey refinement and a sense of luxury, while the steady upright posture keeps it formal and composed.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, emphasizing elegance and clarity through vertical structure, hairline serifs, and disciplined proportions. The overall system prioritizes visual impact and polish, balancing display drama with conventional text-serif legibility cues.
The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with prominent thick stems and delicate hairline transitions that can look especially sharp in large settings. In text, the face maintains a consistent vertical cadence, but the hairline details suggest it will look best when given enough size and reproduction quality to preserve the thin strokes.
