A refined high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical rhythm and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. The letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp triangular/wedge-like serifs, and clean joins that keep counters open despite the contrast. Proportions lean classical with sturdy capitals, compact lowercase, and numerals that feel titling-oriented; rounded forms (O, C, G) read smooth and controlled while straight stems stay emphatically vertical. Overall spacing appears even and orderly, with clear word shapes in text and distinct silhouettes in the grid.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and titling for magazines or journals. It can work for short passages in high-quality print or well-rendered digital environments where the hairlines remain intact, and it pairs naturally with simpler sans serifs for supporting text.
The tone is elegant and authoritative, with a dramatic, high-fashion polish. It suggests tradition and prestige, but the sharpness of the hairlines and serifs adds a modern editorial edge. The overall impression is confident, composed, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice for premium typography, emphasizing elegance, verticality, and sharp detail for impactful titles and editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the fine serifs and delicate horizontals create a bright texture that benefits from adequate size and generous leading. The ampersand and punctuation integrate seamlessly, maintaining the same crisp contrast and formal cadence as the letters.
