A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline details. Serifs are sharp and tapered with a wedge-like feel, and many joins show gentle bracketing that keeps the drawing from feeling purely geometric. Uppercase forms are compact and stately with crisp, pointed apexes and clean, vertical stress in round letters. The lowercase combines sturdy stems with delicate entry/exit strokes, producing a lively rhythm; counters are relatively open while terminals remain precise and finely cut. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, mixing sturdy verticals with thin, calligraphic transitions for a polished text-and-display presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where high contrast can carry hierarchy—magazine titles, section heads, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. It also fits premium branding applications such as beauty, fragrance, jewelry, and boutique hospitality, where crisp serifs and refined contrast communicate sophistication. For longer reading, it works best where reproduction can preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—confident enough for headlines, yet composed and traditional in longer settings. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs evoke fashion and literary publishing, lending an upscale, curated voice. The contrast and crisp terminals add a sense of drama and formality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-leaning interpretation of a classic high-contrast text serif, combining sharp hairlines and tapered serifs with steady, upright proportions for authoritative readability. It aims to bridge elegant display impact with a disciplined, publication-ready rhythm.
In text, the font creates a strong vertical cadence and clear word shapes, with emphasis coming from contrast rather than width or exaggerated proportions. At larger sizes, the fine hairlines and tapered serifs become a defining feature, giving the type a distinctly engraved, print-like refinement.
