A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and tapered joins that heighten the sharpness. Curves are smooth and taut, with tight apertures and controlled counters; the overall rhythm feels deliberate and vertical, with generous width in many capitals. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional structure, pairing delicate links and ears with strong main strokes for a distinctly polished texture in text and display settings.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and mastheads where its contrast and sharp detailing can fully resolve. It also works well for premium branding and packaging, invitations, and short-form editorial typography where a luxurious, classic voice is desired.
The tone is formal and fashion-forward, evoking magazine mastheads, luxury branding, and classic book typography with a contemporary edge. Its dramatic contrast and precise details communicate confidence, elegance, and a slightly theatrical sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver an upscale, editorial serif aesthetic—maximizing contrast and precision to create a memorable, high-fashion impression in display typography while still retaining conventional letterforms for familiar reading.
In larger sizes, the hairline serifs and thin connections read as striking and refined, while the sharp terminals and strong vertical stress create a pronounced, high-end presence. Numerals share the same contrast and sculpted curves, supporting cohesive editorial figure work.
