A crisp, high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation across rounds and verticals. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, often with subtle bracketing that keeps joins clean while maintaining a polished, engraved feel. Proportions lean tall in the capitals with generous interior counters, while lowercase forms stay compact and controlled, creating a tidy rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and precise, terminals are keen rather than blunt, and spacing reads slightly on the open side for a bright, airy color at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, covers, and other display typography where its contrast and hairlines can remain crisp. It works well for magazine and cultural branding, luxury packaging, and event collateral that benefits from a formal, fashion-oriented serif. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with sufficient leading and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, with a confident editorial voice. It suggests high-end print traditions—poised, stylish, and slightly dramatic—without becoming overly ornate. The strong contrast and fine detailing give it a premium, fashion-and-culture sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic editorial serif with dramatic contrast and finely cut details, prioritizing elegance and impact in prominent settings. Its controlled proportions and clean finishing aim for a contemporary, curated look while staying rooted in traditional serif construction.
Distinctive details include a delicate, sweeping tail on the uppercase Q, narrow hairline cross strokes, and numerals that echo the same contrast and elegance. The ampersand and punctuation feel consistent with the sharp, refined finishing, supporting sophisticated typographic settings.
