A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline horizontals and robust vertical stems, creating a refined, engraved rhythm on the page. Serifs are thin and sharply cut, often with subtle bracketing and occasional flared, calligraphic terminals that soften transitions without losing precision. Curves are clean and taut, with noticeable modulation through bowls and joins; counters stay open and well-shaped, supporting readability despite the dramatic stroke contrast. Proportions lean generously wide with a steady, upright stance, and the overall texture feels polished and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other editorial applications where contrast and refinement are an advantage. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and cover design, and can work for short, high-impact text blocks where a polished, high-end voice is desired.
The tone is poised and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial feel that reads as premium and style-conscious. Its sharp contrast and crisp detailing convey sophistication and authority, while the slightly calligraphic finishing lends a human, couture-like elegance rather than a purely mechanical austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif voice rooted in classic forms, emphasizing dramatic contrast and sharp finishing for strong typographic presence. It prioritizes elegance and display clarity, while keeping proportions and counters stable enough to remain legible in prominent text settings.
Capitals present a stately presence with sharp peaks and balanced bowls, while the lowercase shows lively details in terminals and ear-like strokes that add personality. Numerals match the display-like contrast and carry an elegant, fashion-oriented sparkle, especially in the curvier forms.
