A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline detailing and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are fine and often slightly flared or wedge-like, giving edges a crisp, engraved feel while maintaining smooth curves in bowls and rounds. The overall stance is upright with a controlled, classical rhythm; capitals feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase forms show compact, sturdy stems and precise joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast-heavy logic, producing a clean, assertive texture in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book display typography, and brand-led applications where elegance and contrast are desirable. It can work for short passages such as pull quotes, intros, and captions when set large enough to preserve its fine details.
The font conveys a polished, high-end tone with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning sophistication. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals add drama and a sense of luxury, while the traditional serif construction keeps it authoritative and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs—pairing traditional proportions with razor-sharp hairlines and confident, sculptural capitals for a premium, attention-grabbing voice.
In text, the strong contrast creates a bright, sparkling page color with prominent verticals and delicate horizontals, making it most comfortable when given generous size and spacing. The italic is not shown, so the voice here reads as firmly straight and ceremonial, suited to impactful typography rather than neutral, low-key reading.
