A high-contrast serif with hairline-thin connecting strokes and pronounced thick stems, producing a crisp, glossy rhythm on the page. Serifs read as sharp, tapered wedges with pointed terminals, while curves are tightly drawn and cleanly finished, giving counters a polished, faceted feel. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in presence, and the lowercase keeps a conventional text structure with a measured x-height and clear differentiation between round and straight forms. Figures match the overall style with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply cut joins, reinforcing an overall sense of precision.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial display where contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, classical serif voice, especially in larger sizes.
The tone is poised and fashion-forward, combining classic bookish credibility with a more theatrical, high-end sheen. Its strong contrast and knife-edged details feel confident and luxurious, suited to moments where typography should signal refinement and taste.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif, using extreme thick–thin modulation and crisp wedge serifs to elevate an otherwise familiar text-serif skeleton into a more glamorous display presence.
At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, creating a sparkling, calligraphic tension within otherwise traditional letterforms. The overall color is relatively dark for a high-contrast face due to substantial thick strokes, while spacing and proportions keep it orderly and composed.
