A refined display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical axis. Stems are sturdy and upright, while cross-strokes and connecting strokes drop to delicate hairlines, creating a crisp, sparkling texture in larger sizes. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins resolve into pointed, wedge-like transitions. Proportions lean slightly narrow with tall capitals and compact curves, giving the alphabet a stately, high-waisted silhouette; numerals share the same dramatic contrast and firm, poster-ready stance.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and high-impact editorial layouts where its contrast can read as intentional and premium. It also fits posters, title treatments, and branding wordmarks that benefit from a classical, refined voice rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, pairing classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing convey luxury and seriousness, while the lively, sculpted curves add a hint of theatricality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative, elegant, and optimized for attention-grabbing display settings with a polished, upscale feel.
In the text sample, the strong vertical rhythm and thin horizontals create a distinctive shimmer that feels best when allowed breathing room. The most delicate strokes appear intentionally light, so spacing and size will strongly influence perceived color and crispness.
