A high-contrast serif with strong thick-to-thin transitions and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are sharp and bracketed lightly (often reading as wedge-like), and curves show a calligraphic stress that enhances the elegant, “fashion” rhythm. Proportions lean toward compact counters and sturdy verticals, with round forms (like O and 8) showing pronounced thick sides and fine hairline joins. The lowercase has a traditional build with a two-storey a and g, a narrow, pointed-shoulder r, and ball-like details on several terminals, giving the design a lively, carved-in-ink texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, posters, and brand marks where a refined, dramatic serif voice is desired. It can work well for luxury, culture, hospitality, and editorial design systems—especially in larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain clear. For dense body text, it will be most successful when set with generous size and leading to preserve the thin strokes and sharp details.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial tone with a distinctly classic, high-end feel. The sharp contrast and emphatic weight give it a sense of authority and drama, while the refined details keep it polished rather than aggressive. Overall it reads as formal, stylish, and attention-directing.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact serif typography that feels traditional yet fashion-forward, emphasizing contrast and sharp finishing for a premium impression. Its structure suggests a focus on display and editorial settings where character and presence matter as much as readability. The consistent, sculpted details aim to create a memorable texture in words and strong silhouettes in capitals and numerals.
The numerals show a mix of sturdy vertical emphasis and delicate hairline joins, creating a distinctly elegant figure style in display use. Capitals have a stately presence with relatively narrow internal spaces in some letters, which increases impact in tightly set titles but benefits from careful tracking when used in longer all-caps lines.
