A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are robust and straight while horizontals and connecting strokes fall away to very thin hairlines, producing a sharp, engraved-like rhythm. The letterforms are relatively wide with generous internal spaces, and curves are smooth and controlled, especially in rounds like O and C. Serifs are fine and clean with minimal bracketing, and terminals stay precise, giving the overall texture a polished, print-forward presence.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and luxury branding, book covers, and poster titling, especially in settings that allow ample size and clean reproduction.
The tone is elegant and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and luxury feel. Its dramatic light–dark interplay reads as formal and composed, evoking classic publishing and high-end branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: wide, stately proportions paired with striking contrast and precise hairlines for impactful display typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama while keeping a traditional, legible skeleton for editorial-style composition.
The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between strokes, while the numerals share the same sharp contrast and refined detailing. In text, the thin hairlines create a lively sparkle that becomes more pronounced as size decreases, reinforcing its display-leaning character.
