A high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical rhythm, thin hairlines, and sharp, clean serifs. The letterforms are relatively narrow with compact proportions and a consistent upright posture. Curves show pronounced thick–thin transitions (notably in O/C/G and numerals like 8), while stems and diagonals stay crisp and controlled. Spacing reads fairly tight and tailored, producing a neat, column-like texture in running text.
This font performs best in headlines, magazine layouts, and brand applications where elegance and contrast are assets. It suits title treatments, pull quotes, and short text blocks, especially at larger sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and sophisticated, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing suggest luxury, ceremony, and a sense of deliberate formality rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: narrow, poised, and visually striking, with careful stroke modulation to create an upscale editorial texture.
Uppercase forms lean toward classical proportions with restrained detailing, while the lowercase keeps a clear, readable structure and a balanced x-height. The figures match the same glossy, high-contrast style, making them suitable for display settings where numerals need to look as considered as the letters.
