A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical stress. The letters are broadly proportioned with generous horizontal spread, while hairline serifs and fine connecting strokes create crisp, delicate details. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts. Overall spacing reads airy and formal, with a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm that becomes especially noticeable in round letters and in the swooping forms of s, y, and z.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headers, book and film titles, posters, and high-end branding where its contrast and width can be appreciated. It can work for short pull quotes or deck copy with comfortable size and leading, but it shines most when given room and printed or rendered with sufficient resolution to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and dramatic, evoking a classic, fashion-forward editorial sensibility. Its bright contrast and refined hairlines convey sophistication and ceremony, with an old-world gravitas that still feels crisp and contemporary when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion serif voice: expansive proportions paired with dramatic contrast and precise hairline finishing. It prioritizes visual elegance and headline impact over purely utilitarian text ruggedness.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and hairline serifs visually recede compared to the heavy verticals, creating a lively sparkle in headlines. The wide capitals and strong contrast give words a stately footprint, but dense paragraph settings can look busy as fine details accumulate, especially around punctuation and tight line spacing.
