A high-contrast serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design shows a largely vertical stress and crisp, clean joins, with tapered terminals and finely cut details that read as precise rather than soft. Proportions lean toward stately, with relatively narrow internal counters and a strong vertical rhythm; capitals feel commanding while lowercase maintains a controlled, bookish texture. Numerals share the same contrast and refinement, with clear, formal silhouettes that suit typographic settings.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and headline systems where contrast and refinement are an asset. It also fits book and film titles, cultural institutions, and luxury-facing branding that benefits from a classical serif voice. For best results, use at display sizes or in contexts where the fine hairlines can reproduce cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting a fashion/editorial sophistication with a slightly dramatic edge from the extreme contrast. It feels traditional and cultured rather than casual, suggesting formality, taste, and a premium presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with heightened elegance through very strong contrast, sharp serifs, and disciplined proportions. It prioritizes a premium, high-fashion editorial presence while keeping letterforms familiar enough for traditional typographic composition.
In larger sizes, the hairline elements and sharp serifs contribute to a crisp, engraved look; the contrast also creates lively texture changes across words, especially around round letters and diagonals. The italics are not shown, and the style presented reads as a poised roman optimized for display-forward composition.
