A high-contrast serif with sharp hairline serifs and pronounced thick-to-thin modulation. The letterforms are upright with a crisp, glossy finish, featuring bracketed, wedge-like terminals and tapered joins that create a sculpted look. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in rhythm, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a controlled, bookish texture. Numerals and capitals show dramatic hairlines (notably in diagonals and apexes), reinforcing a refined, display-leaning color on the page.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also support refined branding, cover titling, and premium packaging, especially where a classic serif voice is desired with a more contemporary, high-fashion edge.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a confident editorial presence. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details evoke fashion mastheads and premium print design rather than utilitarian everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with traditional roots—prioritizing elegance, authority, and visual sparkle in display and editorial applications.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as precise and ornamental, giving punctuation and delicate strokes a sparkling quality. In dense settings, the strong vertical emphasis and fine serifs create a lively rhythm that benefits from generous spacing and good reproduction.
