A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline detailing. Capitals read broad and stately, with crisp wedge-like entry/exit strokes and finely cut serifs that give counters a carved, sculptural feel. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-forward construction with compact joins, a two-storey a, and a slightly calligraphic tension where thin strokes taper into terminals. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same razor-thin horizontals and strong vertical emphasis, producing an overall rhythm that feels formal and controlled at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and upscale branding where a refined, high-contrast serif can add authority and glamour. It also works effectively for posters and packaging that benefit from strong vertical structure and sharp typographic detail.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical bookishness with a modern, fashion-leaning sharpness. Its extreme contrast and clean finishing convey luxury and confidence, while the traditional skeleton keeps it anchored in familiar editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic text serif, pushed into a more dramatic, display-oriented contrast. It prioritizes elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a premium feel for editorial and brand-forward typography.
The thin strokes become extremely fine in places, which heightens elegance but also makes the design feel more at home in larger sizes or higher-resolution output. The overall spacing and silhouette favor big, poster-like settings where the crisp serifs and sculpted curves can read clearly.
