A high-contrast serif with strong thick-to-thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and serifs are extremely fine, producing a sharp, polished silhouette. Serifs are delicate and largely unbracketed, with crisp joins and pointed, tapered terminals; several lowercase forms show small ball terminals (notably in letters like a and f). Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the caps, while the lowercase maintains a moderate, readable x-height and open counters; overall spacing reads even and formal in text.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine and newspaper-style headlines, fashion and beauty branding, book or album covers, and formal invitations. It can also work for short editorial text and pull quotes where a refined, high-end voice is desired and reproduction quality is controlled.
The tone is luxurious and poised, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and razor-thin details convey fashion-forward refinement and a sense of heritage credibility at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-end take on classic contrasted serifs: crisp, vertical, and glamorous, prioritizing elegant texture and dramatic detail for editorial and branding contexts.
The numerals and capitals share the same crisp contrast and fine finishing, giving headlines a stately, engraved-like sparkle. At smaller sizes, the hairlines may visually recede, while at display sizes the sharp serifs and contrast become the primary character.
