A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and sharp hairline serifs. The capitals are wide and stately with crisp terminals and strong, sculpted curves in letters like C, G, and S. Lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish rhythm, with compact joins and delicate finishing strokes; round letters show taut bowls and narrow hairlines, while stems stay firm and upright. Numerals follow the same contrast profile, mixing sturdy main strokes with very fine cross-strokes and terminals for a polished, display-leaning texture.
Best suited for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and large-scale editorial typography where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and identity work that calls for a refined, classic serif presence, and can serve as a distinctive choice for titles and display lines in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining classical formality with a modern, high-fashion sheen. It reads as confident and authoritative, with a sense of ceremony that suits premium branding and sophisticated editorial settings.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: wide, composed capitals, refined hairline detailing, and a poised reading rhythm that prioritizes elegance and impact in display use.
The extreme hairlines and crisp serifs create a bright, shimmering page color in larger sizes, with more visual drama than a general-purpose text face. Spacing appears generous and the letterforms feel carefully balanced, producing a composed, high-end typographic voice.
