A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with stems that swell toward the ends into subtly flared, bracketed serifs rather than flat slab forms. Counters are generous and shapes are cleanly drawn, giving capitals a stately presence and lowercase a smooth, bookish rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading crisp and formal alongside the letters.
Best suited to magazines, cultural/editorial layouts, and luxury branding where crisp contrast and refined serifs are an asset. It excels in headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and short paragraphs at comfortable sizes, and can bring a formal tone to invitations, packaging, and book-cover typography.
The overall tone is polished and elegant, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing convey premium, traditional credibility while still feeling contemporary and display-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-end serif voice with dramatic contrast and carefully shaped serifs that add sophistication on the page. It balances classical proportions with a clean, modern finish for contemporary editorial use.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a lively sparkle on the baseline and at the serifs. The design maintains consistent stress and finishing across cases, supporting cohesive typography from headlines down into larger-size reading settings.
