A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a vertical stress that reads clearly in round forms. Serifs are fine and crisp, with sharp, tapered terminals and minimal bracketing, giving the outlines a clean, chiseled finish. Proportions feel generously set with ample internal counters and relatively broad capitals, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and a steady, upright rhythm. Details like the curved tail on Q, the beaked/pointed terminals on letters such as a, c, and e, and the compact, weighty numerals reinforce a refined, print-oriented texture.
This style performs best in display contexts such as headlines, cover lines, poster titles, and brand marks where its contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It also suits premium packaging and editorial layouts that benefit from a strong, classic serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining fashion-magazine polish with a slightly theatrical contrast. It conveys tradition and authority while staying sleek and contemporary in its sharp finishing strokes.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-fashion serif look with dramatic contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing impact and elegance in large-scale typography.
The heavy main strokes and extremely fine hairlines create a lively shimmer at larger sizes, especially in dense settings. Punctuation and dots appear robust and circular, and the figures are bold and decorative, suited to prominent display rather than small, continuous reading.
