A sharp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and tapered, hairline connections between thick stems. Serifs are fine and crisp with a slightly sculpted, bracketed feel, and many terminals finish in pointed or beak-like forms that add bite to the silhouettes. Proportions lean toward narrow, stately capitals with a prominent, towering presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with compact counters and tight joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the numerals follow the same dramatic thick–thin logic, producing a polished, print-oriented texture at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and titling where high contrast and crisp serifs can read as intentional detail rather than fragility. It fits premium branding, fashion/beauty layouts, cultural posters, and formal materials like invitations or programs, especially when set with ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward drama. Its razor-thin hairlines and assertive verticals project luxury and ceremony, while the crisp terminals add a slightly sharp, modern edge to an otherwise classical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, prestige serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened details for maximum impact in display and editorial settings. It emphasizes elegance and authority through narrow proportions, controlled curves, and meticulously thin finishing strokes.
In continuous text the contrast creates lively sparkle and a strong headline color, with strokes that can appear delicate where hairlines and fine serifs meet. The design rewards generous sizing and careful spacing, where the detailed terminals and thin strokes remain clearly articulated.
