A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted verticals, giving it a crisp, polished silhouette. Serifs are fine and elegant, with a mix of sharp, tapered terminals and occasional ball/teardrop-like endings, contributing to a distinctly engraved feel. The capitals show generous presence and clear classical structure, while the lowercase keeps a steady x-height and clean rhythm, with open counters and carefully controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, balancing delicate joins with sturdy main strokes for a refined, display-ready texture.
This font is strongest in headlines, magazine typography, and brand applications where high contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and beauty communications, cultural/editorial layouts, and premium packaging or identity systems that need a luxurious, classical note.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic contrast that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. It conveys sophistication and formality, suited to settings where elegance and sharp typographic voice are more important than understated neutrality.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif construction with striking contrast and meticulously finished terminals, creating a sophisticated display text face for contemporary editorial and branding contexts.
In text settings the face produces a lively, shimmering texture as hairlines and serifs catch the eye, especially in round forms and diagonals. The combination of crisp joins and delicate finishing details rewards larger sizes and high-quality reproduction.
