A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines paired with weighty vertical stems. Serifs are crisp and tapered with a refined, slightly bracketed feel, and terminals often end in sharp points or small teardrop-like shapes. The overall build is relatively broad, with open counters and a steady, upright rhythm; curves are clean and tightly controlled, giving the forms a polished, print-oriented presence.
Best suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and other editorial typography where high contrast can add sophistication and hierarchy. It also fits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a luxe, classical serif voice, especially at larger sizes and with comfortable spacing.
The font conveys an editorial, high-fashion tone—confident, elegant, and a bit theatrical. Its stark contrast and sharp finishing details create a premium, attention-grabbing voice that feels formal and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for impactful display typography. It prioritizes elegance, crisp detail, and dramatic stroke modulation to create strong visual hierarchy and a premium feel in titles and short text.
In longer lines, the strong vertical emphasis and hairline joins create a lively shimmer, especially in round letters and diagonals. The numerals share the same contrasty construction and look suited to display settings where their sculpted shapes can read clearly.
