A crisp, high-contrast serif with a predominantly vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Hairlines are very fine and straight, while the main stems are sturdy, producing a sharply engraved look. Serifs are narrow and pointed with minimal bracketing, and terminals often end in flat, blade-like cuts. Proportions run on the wide side with generous uppercase presence and a comparatively small, low x-height in the lowercase, giving the type a tall, stately rhythm across lines.
Best suited to display sizes such as headlines, deck text, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography where its sharp contrast and wide stance can be appreciated. It can also work for formal branding and invitations when set with comfortable spacing and sufficient size to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing convey a sense of ceremony and tradition, suitable for settings where refinement and presence matter more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-fashion serif voice: clean, high-contrast forms with sharp serifs and a composed, upright posture. Its proportions and low x-height prioritize elegance and impact, making it feel tailored for prominent editorial and titling roles.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, with uppercase forms reading particularly boldly against the delicate hairlines. The numerals follow the same contrast logic, maintaining a consistent, classical texture when mixed with text.
