This is a refined modern serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Stems are sturdy and dark, while horizontals and connecting strokes drop to very fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-definition rhythm. Serifs are slender and sharp, with minimal bracketing and a clean, cut-paper finish at many terminals. Proportions feel traditional yet display-oriented: capitals are wide and stately, curves are tightly controlled, and counters are relatively compact, producing a dense, authoritative color in text. The lowercase shows a classic two-storey a and g, with narrow joins and crisp arches that keep the overall texture taut and elegant.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, particularly when used at larger sizes or paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The tone is formal and elevated, projecting sophistication and drama through extreme contrast and razor-like detailing. It reads as fashion-leaning and editorial, with a sense of ceremony that suits premium contexts more than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif letterforms—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a polished editorial voice through strong vertical contrast and precise, minimal-bracket serifs.
The numerals and capitals carry a strong headline presence, with especially striking round forms (O/Q/8/9) that emphasize the contrast. In continuous setting, the tight apertures and fine hairlines create a glossy, high-end texture that benefits from generous size and thoughtful spacing.
