A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, sturdy main stems, and very fine hairline serifs and cross-strokes. Serifs are sharp and clean with minimal bracketing, giving the letters a crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and elegant, tapered joins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with graceful curves and thin connecting strokes that emphasize a polished, display-oriented rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages in editorial layouts where its high-contrast details can be preserved. It also works well for premium branding, packaging, invitations, and posters that benefit from a formal, cultivated voice and sharp typographic contrast.
The overall tone is refined and commanding, balancing classic bookish sophistication with a fashion-forward, high-end presence. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing suggest formality and prestige, making it feel at home in curated, editorial settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic contrasted serifs: elegant proportions, crisp hairlines, and a poised reading rhythm that prioritizes sophistication and visual impact in display and editorial use.
Spacing appears relatively open in the uppercase, helping large titles feel airy and composed, while the hairlines become a defining feature in text—adding sparkle but demanding sufficient size and reproduction quality. The design maintains consistent contrast logic across caps, lowercase, and figures for a cohesive typographic color.
