A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines that create a crisp, shimmering rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, and many joins taper into pointed terminals that emphasize an engraved, sculpted feel. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow apertures and strong vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a compact, controlled texture. Numerals share the same display-forward contrast and feature prominent curves and tapered joins, keeping the overall color assertive at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and large-format editorial typography where the fine hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging that benefit from sharp, high-contrast letterforms. For smaller text or low-resolution output, extra care with size and reproduction is advisable due to the delicate thin strokes.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining classical refinement with a modern, editorial bite. Its sharp transitions and delicate details read as premium and deliberate, lending an air of sophistication and ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for impactful display use—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama while retaining conventional serif proportions for readable word shapes.
In text settings the hairlines and joins create a lively sparkle, with letterforms like the S, a, g, and y showing pronounced tapering and pointed finishing strokes. Spacing appears intentionally tight for impact, and the design’s contrast-driven rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
