A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems are robust while hairlines and serifs resolve to very fine, crisp strokes, giving letters a sharp, polished edge. Proportions favor tall capitals and a comparatively short x-height, with tight apertures and compact bowls that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals show a measured, formal construction, while lowercase keeps a restrained, bookish cadence with small, neat counters and precise joins.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, cover typography, and other display applications where its fine hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial text in larger sizes, especially in print-oriented layouts with generous spacing.
The overall tone is poised and formal, projecting luxury and tradition with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward crispness. Its contrast and delicate details lend a cultivated, editorial sensibility rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
Designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with sharp refinement and a premium feel, emphasizing elegance, formality, and strong typographic presence in titles and sophisticated branding.
The combination of delicate hairlines and firm verticals produces a sparkling texture in words, especially in mixed-case settings. Round letters maintain a controlled, upright stress, and punctuation and figures match the same refined, thin-detail finishing.
