A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, crisp hairline connections, and sharply cut, bracketless serifs. Capitals are stately and wide-set, with generous internal space in rounds like C, O, and Q; the Q features a distinctive, decorative tail. Lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with a single-storey g and pointed, calligraphic-feeling terminals on letters like a, c, e, and s. Numerals follow the same sharp, fashion-oriented logic, mixing thick stems with thin hairlines and angular joins for a bright, glossy texture at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, fashion and luxury branding, and large-format display where the hairlines can stay crisp. It can work for short pull quotes or refined subheads, but the extreme contrast suggests avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution environments.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, combining classical bookish authority with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. It reads as formal and confident, with enough stylized sharpness to feel contemporary rather than purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, display-forward take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, impact, and a premium feel. Its sharp terminals and wide, open capitals suggest a focus on sophisticated editorial and brand expression rather than neutral body-text invisibility.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairlines create a pronounced light–dark flicker, especially in mixed-case settings and around curved letters. The ampersand matches the sharp, calligraphic tension of the set, and the punctuation looks clean and decisive.
