This typeface shows a crisp, high-contrast serif construction with very thin hairlines and strong, vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a clean, incisive finish and a distinctly modernized classic feel. Curves are smooth and controlled with a clear vertical stress, and proportions in caps lean tall and statuesque. The lowercase keeps a measured rhythm with relatively compact counters and deliberate, calligraphic touches in a few forms (notably the two-storey g and the sculpted a), while figures mix sturdy verticals with fine connecting hairlines for a polished, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits premium branding applications—logos, packaging, and lookbooks—where a refined, high-fashion voice is desired. For longer passages, it will be most effective when given generous size and spacing so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a fashion-and-magazine sensibility that feels formal without becoming ornate. The extreme stroke contrast adds drama and sophistication, producing a poised, high-end character suited to refined branding and editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning serif voice built on classic high-contrast principles: tall capitals, crisp serifs, and sculpted curves that read as confident and upscale in display and editorial contexts.
In text settings the thin horizontals and hairline joins create a shimmering texture, especially where round letters meet verticals. Several glyphs feature distinctive hairline spurs and tapered joins that enhance the crisp, engraved impression while keeping the silhouette precise.
