A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs. The letterforms show a mix of vertical stress and subtly calligraphic curves, with tight apertures in some rounds and strong, sculpted shoulders. Capitals feel stately and broad-shouldered, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with clearly differentiated stems, bowls, and terminals. Numerals and punctuation carry the same sharp finishing, giving the overall texture a polished, print-like clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and prominent titling where the contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It fits magazine and editorial design, luxury branding, packaging, and cultural or event posters, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone: confident, formal, and slightly theatrical. Its sharp contrasts and refined detailing suggest prestige and ceremony rather than everyday utility, lending a sense of luxury and seriousness to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on a classic serif for display-forward typography. Its emphasis on contrast, sculpted curves, and crisp finishing aims to create impact and elegance in prominent text while maintaining conventional, readable letter structure.
Round letters (like O/C/Q) appear carefully carved with noticeable contrast and a clean inner counter shape, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay crisp and controlled. The lowercase a and g are traditional in feel, supporting a classic typographic voice, and the figures read as tailored and stylish rather than purely utilitarian.
