A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines set against strong vertical stems and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that give the outlines a clean, polished finish. Proportions lean classical: capitals feel stately and relatively narrow, while lowercase forms are compact with a controlled, even rhythm; the thin joins and small details stay delicate in comparison to the main strokes. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast, with pronounced thick/thin transitions and elegant curves.
Best suited to headlines, title pages, pull quotes, and other larger-size settings where the fine hairlines can remain visible. It fits magazine and fashion layouts, premium packaging, and elegant brand identities, and can add a classic, high-end tone to book covers and display typography.
The overall tone is formal and stylish, projecting an upscale, editorial character. Its dramatic contrast and poised proportions evoke fashion, literature, and heritage-oriented branding rather than utilitarian plainness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for refined display and editorial use, emphasizing crisp detail, classical structure, and a luxurious, composed presence.
In text, the extreme contrast creates a bright, shimmering texture where hairlines recede and main stems dominate, producing a pronounced typographic color. The italic is not shown; all examples appear upright, with a consistent, composed stance across cases and figures.
