A high-contrast serif with sharp transitions between thick vertical stems and hairline horizontals, producing a crisp, engraved-like texture. Serifs are fine and tapered, with pointed terminals and delicate feet that stay controlled rather than bracketed. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and a lively rhythm from thin joins and narrow apertures. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same razor-thin detailing, giving the overall design a polished, display-forward finish.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and fine detail can be appreciated. It performs well for fashion, beauty, and luxury packaging, as well as poster titles and editorial pull quotes, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The typeface conveys a poised, upscale tone—elegant and fashion-conscious with a slightly theatrical contrast. Its sharpness and clean restraint read as modern-luxury rather than rustic or bookish, making it feel curated and premium.
Designed to deliver an elegant, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif construction, prioritizing sophistication, sharp detail, and a premium editorial voice. The intent appears focused on display and branding impact while retaining enough classical structure to feel timeless.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and hairline cross-strokes create a shimmering light/dark pattern, especially at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates an upright style with confident, formal letterforms and consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures.
