A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stress, producing a sharp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and clean, often wedge-like, with tapered joins and a crisp, engraved feel in the terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while diagonals in letters like V/W/X show slender hairlines against robust stems. Numerals and capitals read statuesque and formal, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish texture with a distinctly polished finish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where its contrast can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal invitations when used at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing. For longer passages, it will typically perform best in larger text sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing suggest fashion and culture contexts where refinement and a touch of spectacle are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, fashion-forward serif voice: crisp, high-contrast forms that emphasize elegance and authority. It prioritizes refined detail and a cultivated page presence over utilitarian neutrality.
In running text, the hairlines and delicate cross-strokes become prominent stylistic features, giving the font a bright, airy color at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
