A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairlines that create a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are thin and sharp, with a largely unbracketed feel and clean, straight terminals. Proportions are expansive, giving many letters a broad footprint, while the lowercase shows a comparatively short x-height and compact counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a pronounced vertical stress visible in rounded forms; overall spacing reads open and airy at display sizes but can feel tight where hairlines and joins get dense.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, posters, and upscale branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial settings (titles, chapter openings, packaging copy) when set with generous size and spacing to preserve the hairline detail.
The design projects a polished, formal tone with a dramatic, fashion-and-editorial edge. Its stark contrast and sharp finishing details suggest refinement and authority, leaning more ceremonial than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern classic serif voice: wide, high-contrast letterforms with crisp hairlines intended to look elegant and commanding in prominent settings. The short x-height and refined finishing emphasize sophistication over utilitarian readability.
In the sample text, the hairlines and joins become visually delicate at smaller sizes, especially in dense lowercase sequences, while capitals maintain a strong, stately presence. Numerals appear similarly contrasted, with thin horizontals and prominent verticals that suit display-oriented use.
