A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines set against broad, confident verticals. Serifs are fine and crisp, with subtle bracketing and a slight flared widening where strokes terminate, giving edges a polished, engraved feel rather than blunt endings. Overall proportions are balanced and fairly classical, with open counters and smooth curves; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, reading cleanly with prominent main strokes and delicate connecting hairlines.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated—magazine headlines, section openers, book and album covers, and refined brand marks. It can also work for short, well-spaced pull quotes and titling, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The typeface projects a formal, luxurious tone with a cool, editorial authority. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing feel fashion-forward and literary at once, leaning toward sophistication and ceremony rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative, stylish, and built to create striking typographic color in titles. The flared terminals and delicate bracketing add a tailored finish that supports premium, design-led applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines and tapered joins become a defining feature, creating a bright, rhythmic sparkle across words. The texture is crisp and high-end, with strong vertical emphasis and well-controlled spacing that supports impactful headline setting.
