A polished display serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modeling. The letterforms show sculpted, high-contrast curves with tapered strokes and wedge-like terminals, producing a crisp, cut-paper silhouette. Serifs are fine and often bracketed into stems, while counters stay relatively open for the weight, giving a clean rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. The overall texture reads dense and emphatic in text, with elegant stroke modulation that keeps edges precise rather than soft.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high-contrast details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also fits luxury packaging and event materials that benefit from a formal, premium voice, and can work for short editorial passages when ample size and spacing are available.
The tone is editorial and upscale, pairing classic bookish authority with a contemporary fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details suggest sophistication and ceremony, projecting confidence and a slightly theatrical refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure with intensified contrast and finely cut finishing, optimizing for impactful display settings. It aims to balance traditional proportions with sharper, more fashion-forward detailing to create a refined, attention-grabbing typographic presence.
Uppercase forms feel monument-like and steady, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement through tapered joins and lively terminals. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast, with curved figures (notably 2, 3, 5, 8, 9) leaning into elegant, swooping strokes that reinforce the font’s high-style character.
