A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions, crisp hairline serifs, and a largely vertical axis. Capitals are stately and spacious with clean, chiseled joins, while the lowercase shows compact, text-friendly proportions and clear differentiation between bowls, stems, and counters. Serifs tend toward fine, tapered wedges rather than slabs, and many terminals finish in sharp points or delicate beaks. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and brisk curves, keeping a consistent, polished rhythm across the set.
Well suited to magazine headlines, elegant branding, and book or report titling where high contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It can also support refined editorial typography in larger text sizes, particularly in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a fashion/editorial flavor and a slightly theatrical crispness. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing convey formality, prestige, and a sense of cultivated tradition.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, authoritative letterforms with luxurious hairlines and a disciplined vertical rhythm. It prioritizes elegance and impact while maintaining familiar, conventional text-serif structures for broad typographic usability.
The design reads best when it can preserve its hairlines and fine serifs; at larger sizes the sculpted curves and pointed terminals become a key visual feature. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S show a smooth, controlled modulation that reinforces an engraved, display-oriented character even in paragraph settings.
