A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in display sizes. Serifs are finely bracketed and sharply finished, and many joins show a subtle calligraphic modulation rather than purely geometric construction. Proportions lean toward elegant, slightly condensed capitals with prominent vertical stress in rounded forms; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with long, tapered ascenders and descenders. Numerals and capitals carry the same steep thick–thin rhythm, giving the face a distinctly formal, print-oriented character.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast can read cleanly. It also works well for luxury branding, packaging, and formal collateral such as invitations or certificates. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at generous sizes with ample leading to protect the hairlines and counters.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing feel premium and ceremonial, lending an air of sophistication and tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: elegant, commanding, and optimized for striking typographic impact in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the strong vertical rhythm and fine internal counters create a lively texture, but the hairlines become visually delicate as size decreases. Curved characters show clear stress and elegant tapering, and the design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across letters and numerals.
