A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty main strokes, creating a distinctly chiseled black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are finely bracketed and cleanly finished, and many joins show a slightly calligraphic swelling that keeps the forms lively rather than mechanical. Proportions feel generous and open, with broad rounds and confident verticals; overall spacing reads comfortable at display sizes. Numerals match the dramatic contrast and show oldstyle-like qualities in their silhouettes, with elegant curves and thin terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck lines, pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also serve luxury branding, invitations, and packaging when you want a classic serif voice with heightened drama. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger text sizes with ample leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The tone is polished and editorial, combining classical bookish manners with a fashion-forward drama. It feels formal and composed, with a luxe presence suited to premium branding and high-end typography. The sharp contrast adds theatrical emphasis without tipping into novelty.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional serif reading structure enhanced with pronounced contrast for display impact. It balances familiar letter construction with sharpened details to project refinement and authority in contemporary editorial and brand contexts.
In text settings the strong stroke contrast and delicate horizontals create a sparkling texture, especially in combinations like E/F/T and in the thin connections on curves. Lowercase details such as the two-storey a and g, plus a compact ear and tapered terminals, reinforce a traditional reading voice while keeping the overall look crisp and contemporary.
