A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline bracketed serifs. The letterforms show predominantly vertical stress, narrow hairlines, and sculpted curves that flare into sharp terminals, giving a distinctly chiseled, glossy rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text-serif structure with compact joins, a two-storey "g," and a clean, upright italic-free stance. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with prominent ball terminals on figures like 2 and 3 and a delicate, pointed 4.
Well suited to display typography where contrast and detail can shine—magazine headlines, editorial decks, book and album covers, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short-form setting such as pull quotes, titling, or formal stationery where a refined, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a classic bookish authority and an editorial, fashion-leaning edge. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like details convey sophistication and ceremony, lending a premium, high-end feel to headlines and display settings.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading silhouette elevated by heightened contrast and sharpened finishing, targeting elegant display and editorial applications. It emphasizes a traditional structure while using modern, razor-thin hairlines and dramatic modulation to create a luxurious impression.
The design relies on fine hairlines and small interior details that can appear delicate as size drops, while larger sizes emphasize the elegant stroke choreography and sharp finishing. Curves and terminals are consistently crisp, producing a bright, high-ink/low-ink sparkle across words and lines.
