A sculpted serif with pronounced stroke modulation, pairing stout vertical stems with very thin hairlines and sharp, tapered joins. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish while keeping the outlines smooth and controlled. Counters are relatively open for the style, and the lowercase shows a steady, readable rhythm with a modest x-height and strong ascender presence. Overall spacing feels generous, and the letterforms read as wide and poised rather than compact.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It will work well for fashion, cultural, and luxury branding, as well as posters and packaging that need a refined, high-impact serif voice. For longer text, it is most comfortable when set with ample size and leading to protect the thin hairlines.
The tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial sense of luxury. The extreme contrast and crisp serifs add drama and sophistication, suggesting heritage and prestige without feeling overly ornate. It projects confidence and ceremony, suited to high-impact typographic statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: authoritative proportions, crisp bracketing, and dramatic modulation optimized for striking editorial use. Its wide stance and careful spacing support clean, upscale composition while keeping letterforms recognizable and controlled.
Display sizes emphasize the razor-thin hairlines and sharp bracketing, while the sturdier main strokes keep forms stable. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with clear, traditional shapes and emphatic vertical stress. Curved letters like C, G, and S show controlled flare and tapering that reinforces the refined, engraved-like feel.
