A high-contrast serif with hairline connecting strokes and sharply tapered, wedge-like terminals. The capitals are statuesque and generously proportioned, with crisp apexes and a smooth, controlled modulation that reads as engraved rather than brushy. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) are drawn with clean, tensioned bowls. The lowercase maintains a traditional text rhythm with relatively small counters and delicate joins, while numerals show the same dramatic thick–thin contrast and a slightly varied footprint across figures.
Well suited to magazine and book-jacket headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and any situation that benefits from a refined, high-end voice. It particularly excels in large sizes for titles, pull quotes, and short editorial blocks where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking couture, fine publishing, and gallery-level restraint. Its sharp hairlines and polished contrast communicate sophistication and formality, with a contemporary editorial edge rather than a rustic or overly ornate feel.
This design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative and timeless in structure, but sharpened for contemporary editorial and brand-forward presentation.
In text settings the face creates a bright, shimmering line due to the thin horizontals and hairline serifs, while the strong vertical emphasis gives words a dignified, columnar cadence. The design’s delicate details suggest it will look best when given enough size and spacing for the hairlines to stay distinct.
