A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and bold vertical stems, producing a distinctly engraved, fashion-editorial rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp triangular apexes (notably in A and W) and clean, flat-topped terminals on forms like E and F. The lowercase shows a traditional structure with compact bowls and tapered entry/exit strokes; round letters carry pronounced thick–thin transitions, and several glyphs feature small ball-like terminals (visible on forms such as a and f). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing strokes that keep counters open while maintaining a dense, dark mass in heavier parts.
This design is well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It fits fashion and culture magazines, book covers, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a sense of luxury and ceremony driven by the extreme stroke contrast and delicate finishing. It feels theatrical and composed—more suited to statement typography than understated utilitarian text—while still retaining a familiar bookish serif tradition.
The font appears intended to deliver a classic, prestige-oriented serif look with heightened contrast and precise, elegant finishing. Its design choices emphasize sophistication and visual drama for editorial and branding contexts rather than long-form, small-size reading.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and fine hairlines create a lively shimmer, especially at larger sizes, where the sharp serifs and tapered joins become a defining detail. Curved letters like S and G show confident modulation, and diagonals keep a crisp, chiseled look that reinforces the formal character.
