A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. Capitals are broad and stately with crisp wedge-like terminals and carefully bracketed serifs, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement through curved joins, ball terminals, and tapered strokes. The overall rhythm is formal and structured, with generous counters and a slightly expansive set that reads confidently at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing sharp diagonals with elegant curves and delicate hairlines.
Best suited for magazine typography, book covers, and headline systems where high contrast and refined serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially for luxury, beauty, and cultural institutions, and works well in posters or pull quotes when given adequate size and spacing.
The design conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone—polished, elevated, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrast and sculpted details suggest prestige and ceremony, while the lively lowercase adds a hint of old-style warmth beneath the formal surface.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong contrast and carefully sculpted terminals, balancing formal capitals with a more expressive, old-style lowercase. Its proportions and detailing suggest an emphasis on impactful display typography that still retains traditional text-serif manners.
Distinctive details like the ball-ended forms in letters such as a, f, j, and y, plus the strong diagonal energy in V/W/X, create a dynamic texture. The thin hairlines and small interior joins are visually delicate, emphasizing elegance over ruggedness.
