A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines paired with thick main stems. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a smooth, polished finish with crisp terminals. Proportions feel generously set, with open counters and a steady, columnar rhythm; the lowercase stays relatively compact in height while capitals read tall and commanding. Numerals and punctuation keep the same elegant contrast, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) showing clear stress and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, luxury branding, invitations, and book or film titling. It can work in short text at larger sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear and the contrast contributes to hierarchy and tone.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, delivering a fashion-magazine kind of drama without feeling ornamental. It communicates formality and confidence, with a distinctly classical, high-end editorial voice.
The design appears intended to evoke a modernized classical serif aesthetic: crisp, high-contrast forms meant to look elegant and premium, with an emphasis on sophisticated headline performance and a polished page presence.
In the text sample, the contrast becomes especially pronounced at larger sizes, where hairlines and joins read as intentionally delicate. The ampersand and some diagonals (like V/W/X) emphasize thin intersections, reinforcing the refined, display-oriented character.
