A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline strokes set against robust verticals, giving the letters a sculpted, print-like clarity. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp triangular joins on diagonals and occasional ball or teardrop terminals that add a distinctly traditional feel. Uppercase forms read stately and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows clear modulation and open counters, with a two-storey “a” and “g” and lively, tapered finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, mixing sturdy stems with delicate hairlines for a classic, display-friendly rhythm.
Well suited to magazine headlines, book and album covers, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, upscale voice. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and larger-size editorial typography where its contrast and hairline details can be preserved.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a luxurious, fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its strong thick–thin pattern and sharp detailing create a sense of drama and sophistication, suited to premium, carefully composed typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance, sharp detail, and a strong editorial presence. It balances traditional serif construction with slightly theatrical terminals and joins to stand out in display settings.
The letterforms emphasize vertical stress and crisp finishing, so the texture becomes more sparkling as sizes increase. Spacing appears comfortable for titling and short text, while the finest hairlines suggest it will look best with good reproduction conditions rather than low-resolution or overly small settings.
