A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms feel tall and statuesque, with clean vertical stress and sharp, tapered terminals that stay refined even in heavier strokes. Capitals are particularly display-oriented, showing occasional ornamental gestures—like curled or inset strokes in characters such as J, Q, S, and G—while the lowercase remains more restrained but still maintains a formal, contrasty rhythm. Proportions read on the wider side, with open counters and clear, high-contrast joins that emphasize a polished, engraved look.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display applications where its contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging, as well as formal event materials like invitations, especially when paired with ample size and generous spacing.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, combining classic high-fashion sophistication with a subtle theatrical flair. Its contrast and occasional flourishes evoke heritage printing and upscale branding, leaning more dramatic than neutral.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic high-contrast serif for contemporary editorial and branding use, adding selective ornamental details to increase memorability while keeping the core structure formal and legible at display sizes.
In text settings the hairlines and delicate serifs create a sparkling texture, while the ornate capitals and some numerals (notably the curled 2/3/9 forms) introduce a distinctly decorative accent. The short x-height and strong contrast give it a headline-first personality, with best results when given breathing room.
