A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin transitions. The design favors upright, poised proportions with a crisp, vertical rhythm and smooth, rounded bowls. Stems read strong and dark, while joins and finishing strokes taper to fine points, producing a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals and capitals appear stately and carefully proportioned, with a consistent, calligraphic modulation across the set.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and premium branding where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It also works well for formal collateral such as invitations or certificates, especially at display sizes. In longer text, it will favor well-printed contexts and comfortable sizing to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and formal, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward sophistication. Its stark contrast and clean finishing details convey luxury and authority rather than warmth, giving text a composed, high-end voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice with strong contrast and sharp finishing, prioritizing elegance and typographic drama. Its consistent modulation and disciplined structure suggest an intent to echo traditional high-contrast book and editorial types while remaining clean and contemporary in presentation.
The sharp terminals and thin connecting strokes create a sparkling page color at larger sizes, while the strongest impact comes from the bold verticals and generous interior counters. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright and consistent in stress and contrast.
