A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The design leans on strong vertical stems with sharply tapered joins and clean, bracketless-looking finishing strokes, creating a polished, engraved feel. Proportions read generously wide with ample sidebearings, and counters are open and smooth, giving the letters a confident, stately stance. Numerals and capitals are especially bold in silhouette, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with a traditional two-storey “a” and “g.”
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and branding where the high-contrast details can be appreciated. It also works for short blocks of text in print-like contexts, especially when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to preserve the fine hairlines and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, pairing luxury fashion energy with classic bookish authority. The sharp contrast and fine details add drama and sophistication, while the upright posture keeps it composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, prestigious serif voice with striking contrast and wide, confident proportions. It emphasizes elegance and impact over neutrality, aiming for a luxe editorial look that holds attention in display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a crisp sparkle along lines of text. In dense settings the strong contrast can make the texture feel bold and attention-grabbing, with capitals and round letters (like O/C/Q) reading particularly monumental.
