A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, pairing thick main strokes with very thin hairlines and refined, sharp serifs. The forms are broadly proportioned with open counters and a confident, steady baseline; curves are smooth and slightly sculpted, while joins and terminals stay crisp rather than soft or heavily bracketed. Uppercase letters read monumental and stately, and the lowercase maintains clear, traditional book-like structures with rounded bowls and narrow connecting strokes that heighten the contrast.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, magazine and editorial layouts, posters, and book covers where the high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging when set with generous size and careful spacing to preserve the hairline structure.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, with a polished, premium feel typical of display serifs used to signal prestige. Its bold presence and hairline detailing create a dramatic rhythm that feels classic and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion editorial voice with pronounced contrast and a commanding silhouette. It emphasizes elegance and impact through wide proportions, vertical stress, and finely drawn hairlines that create a distinctive, premium texture.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become key texture elements, so spacing and size will strongly influence clarity. Numerals share the same contrast and upright posture, with sturdy verticals and delicate connecting strokes that match the letterforms.
