This serif typeface is built around an elegant high-contrast structure with strong thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. Capitals are tall and stately with crisp, tapered joins and finely cut terminals, while the lowercase keeps a measured, text-oriented rhythm with clear counters and gently bracketed details. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress, and the overall drawing feels precise and polished, with narrow hairlines and sturdy main stems producing a luminous, print-like sparkle in words and lines.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine layouts, and headline typography where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book covers that need a cultivated, high-end voice, and works well for short text blocks in large sizes where the hairlines won’t be overtaxed.
The tone is sophisticated and editorial, balancing classical restraint with a distinctly dramatic contrast. It reads as premium and fashion-forward without becoming ornamental, projecting poise, clarity, and a slightly theatrical elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative in structure, refined in finishing, and optimized for impactful display and editorial settings.
In the samples, the contrast creates strong hierarchy and a sharp black-on-white snap, especially in capitals and numerals. The numerals appear refined and display-friendly, matching the same razor-thin hairlines and confident thick strokes used in the letters.
