A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly engraved, cut-paper look. Serifs are fine and sharply bracketed, often ending in pointed or wedge-like terminals. Curves are tight and controlled with noticeable stress, and several capitals (notably C, G, S, and Q) show sweeping, sculpted bowls with thin entry/exit strokes. Lowercase forms keep a short x-height with compact counters; details like the two-storey g with a prominent ear, the narrow, beaked r, and the long, elegant f reinforce a refined, display-leaning texture. Numerals follow the same contrast model with delicate hairline joins and pronounced thick-thin transitions.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial applications where the contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, magazine mastheads, cultural event posters, and book-cover titling, especially when paired with a simpler companion for long-form reading.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, mixing classical bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharpness and contrast feel theatrical and formal, lending an air of luxury and ceremony rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative in structure, but sharpened with dramatic hairlines, pointed terminals, and sculptural curves for strong visual impact in display settings.
At text sizes the thin hairlines and spiky terminals become a defining feature, creating a sparkling rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. The sample paragraph shows a dense, punchy color with clear word shapes, though the most delicate strokes read best when given adequate size, resolution, and printing conditions.
