A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and a smooth, calligraphic flow through curves and joins. Proportions lean classical: capitals are stately and relatively wide, while the lowercase shows a compact, well-contained rhythm with clear ascenders and descenders. Terminals are finely tapered and often end in small, sharp beaks or teardrop-like forms, creating a polished, engraverly finish that reads as precise and controlled.
Well-suited to magazine and book titling, pull quotes, and other editorial display where contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits branding for luxury goods, cultural institutions, and formal invitations, and can work for short-to-medium text when given sufficient size and breathing room.
This typeface projects a poised, editorial tone with a sense of ceremony and refinement. The high-fashion sheen of its sharp contrast and crisp finishing gives it a confident, premium voice that feels formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, classic reading experience while elevating tone through dramatic contrast and crisp detailing. Its controlled modulation and carefully shaped serifs suggest an emphasis on sophistication and typographic polish for prominent settings.
The sample text shows strong color and clear letter separation despite the fine hairlines, with distinctive, stylish capitals and lively lowercase forms (notably in letters with curls and beaks). Numerals match the overall high-contrast, elegant construction and feel designed to sit comfortably alongside the text.
