A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The forms show a largely vertical stress and clean, sharply cut terminals, creating a bright, polished texture in text. Capitals are stately and narrow-to-moderate in proportion with strong verticals, while the lowercase keeps a measured x-height and clear internal apertures; curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) transition abruptly into fine hairlines. Numerals and punctuation share the same refined contrast, with delicate diagonals and thin horizontal strokes that emphasize a precise, engraved finish.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and headline or title work where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also support luxury branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, particularly at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and restraint. Its crisp hairlines and formal construction evoke fashion publishing and high-end branding, with a traditional, bookish authority rather than a casual or utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion, print-oriented serif voice: dramatic contrast, vertical poise, and crisp detailing that reads as premium and carefully crafted in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the font creates a vivid rhythm with strong vertical emphasis and sparkling highlights where hairlines appear in counters and joins. The thinnest strokes are visually prominent against the heavier stems, so spacing and line length will strongly influence the perceived smoothness of paragraphs.
