A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. Serifs are finely tapered and often lightly bracketed, with crisp joins and a distinctly vertical, engraved-feeling rhythm. Capitals read tall and stately with controlled proportions, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, narrow apertures, and a precise, carefully finished silhouette. Numerals match the text style, with slim stems, delicate curves, and small, sharp finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography, magazine display, book covers, and premium branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits formal print applications such as invitations or programs, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve the delicate hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, projecting a classic, fashion-and-editorial elegance rather than warmth or informality. Its crisp contrast and refined detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, with a slightly dramatic, high-end presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif look with a modern, polished finish—aiming for elegance and authority in display and editorial settings while keeping letterforms conventional and legible.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, shimmering texture that feels most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous spacing. The design maintains a consistent calligraphic logic across letters, with clean curves and neatly controlled terminals that emphasize clarity and formality.
