This serif has a decidedly refined, high-contrast construction with strong verticals and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, engraved-like finish. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide in their bowls, while the overall rhythm is vertical and clean, with generous counters and clear separation between thick and thin strokes. The lowercase shows a relatively short x-height and compact, disciplined proportions, with light, precise terminals and a measured, bookish color in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where the high-contrast details can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and luxury identities, invitations, and book-cover titling. For smaller text, it will generally benefit from ample size, leading, and high-quality reproduction so the fine strokes stay distinct.
The tone is polished and aristocratic, evoking classic publishing and luxury branding. Its dramatic stroke contrast and fine details read as elegant and intentional, with a cool, high-end restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography: dramatic vertical emphasis, immaculate hairlines, and formal proportions that project sophistication in display and editorial contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs become a key part of the personality, while in continuous text the strong thick–thin transitions create a lively, shimmering texture. The numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel suited to display settings where their thin features can remain crisp.
