A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, tapered main stems, giving it a distinctly engraved, fashion-forward silhouette. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with sharp terminals and a controlled, vertical stress that reads cleanly in display sizes. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many capitals, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and spacious; spacing and rhythm are even, with a polished, print-oriented texture. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, narrow joins, and delicate entry/exit strokes, while numerals follow the same contrasty, sharp-terminal logic.
Well suited to magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, pull quotes, and high-end brand identities where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for book and journal titling, invitations, and packaging—especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is luxurious and composed, projecting a sense of authority associated with editorial typography and classic publishing. Its dramatic thick–thin rhythm adds sophistication and a touch of glamour, making it feel ceremonial rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a traditional high-contrast text serif, optimized for sophisticated display and editorial settings. Its controlled, consistent detailing prioritizes elegance, sharpness, and a premium visual signature.
Stroke endings are consistently crisp, and the extreme contrast creates bright interior counters and pronounced sparkle in text. The design’s delicacy suggests it will look best when given adequate size and reproduction quality, where hairlines and fine serifs can remain intact.
