A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, crisp hairline serifs, and pronounced thick–thin modulation across stems and bowls. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with sharp terminals and clean joins, while the lowercase shows compact counters and lively, calligraphic movement in letters like a, g, y, and q. The overall rhythm is assertive and dense in text, with pointed details and fine horizontal strokes that create a polished, engraved-like finish.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine and cultural editorial layouts, and book-cover typography where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for elegant branding and event materials when set with generous size and careful spacing.
The typeface projects a formal, editorial tone—confident, dramatic, and refined. Its sharp contrast and precise serifs lend a sense of luxury and tradition, while the energetic lowercase adds a slightly theatrical, display-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with dramatic contrast and refined finishing, optimized for attention-grabbing display use while remaining coherent in short passages.
In the sample text, the heavy main strokes and delicate hairlines create sparkle at large sizes, but also produce a busy texture when set tightly. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with curving forms and small finishing strokes that match the capitals.
