A high-contrast serif with robust main stems and razor-thin hairlines, producing a sharp, glittering texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and often taper to fine points, with occasional beak-like terminals and teardrop/ball finishing on select lowercase forms. Curves are smooth and sculpted, and counters are compact relative to the heavy verticals, giving the letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The lowercase shows a traditional serif construction with a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and a slightly calligraphic stress that reads clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display applications where the fine hairlines remain visible. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print contexts (such as magazine features or book front matter), but benefits from generous sizes and comfortable leading to preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward feel. Its crisp contrast and pointed detailing add drama and a sense of refinement, while the traditional skeleton keeps it grounded and conventional rather than experimental.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with heightened contrast for maximum impact in modern editorial and branding contexts. Its pointed terminals and polished curves suggest a focus on sophistication and strong typographic voice in titles and prominent text.
In text settings the weight distribution creates pronounced vertical rhythm, and spacing appears tailored for headline use where the hairlines have room to breathe. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy strokes with delicate interior shaping for a stately, print-like presence.
