A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are robust while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, producing crisp, bright counters and a refined rhythm. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with tapered entry/exit strokes and pointed terminals that read distinctly in both caps and lowercase. Proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in many letters, while curves (C, G, O, Q) show elegant swelling and tight hairline connections; numerals echo the same dramatic contrast and sculpted forms.
Well-suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover lines where contrast and sharp serifs can remain intact. It also fits premium brand identities, packaging, and formal stationery where an elegant, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with an unmistakably editorial and fashion-forward presence. Its razor-thin details and dramatic modulation suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward display elegance than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance through vertical emphasis, hairline detailing, and clean, crisp construction for impactful display typography.
In text, the font creates a strong typographic color driven by heavy verticals and sparkling hairlines, giving words a stately, engraved-like refinement. The mix of sturdy main strokes and very delicate cross-strokes/serifs makes it feel best when given enough size and whitespace to let the contrast breathe.
