A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, thick main stems, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, reading as hairline terminals rather than heavy brackets, which gives the letters a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions run on the broad side with generous counters and clear interior space, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable construction with two-storey a and g and a compact, low-profile ear on g. Numerals show pronounced contrast and classical forms, with curved figures carrying thin entry/exit strokes and heavier vertical weight where appropriate.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion branding, cultural posters, and formal invitations. It can also work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is polished and commanding, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial sharpness. The extreme contrast and fine detailing convey luxury and ceremony, while the upright stance keeps the voice composed and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-society serif voice: emphatic vertical rhythm, refined detailing, and broad proportions that create a confident, premium presence in display settings.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become especially prominent at larger sizes, creating a bright, shimmering texture typical of high-contrast serifs. The wide set and open counters help maintain clarity, though the finest strokes suggest this style will look most confident when given sufficient size and good reproduction conditions.
