A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, pairing dense main stems with very thin hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs. Uppercase forms are stately and moderately wide with pronounced thick–thin modulation, while lowercase shows compact, lively shapes and noticeable width changes from glyph to glyph. Curves are sharply sculpted—especially in C, G, S, and 2/3—creating bright, tapered joins and pointed terminals. The overall rhythm is refined and slightly idiosyncratic, with dark, commanding verticals and delicate linking strokes that give the texture a sparkling, engraved feel.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other larger-size settings where the fine hairlines can remain clear. It works well for magazine and cultural editorial design, book covers, upscale branding, and poster typography that benefits from a refined yet attention-grabbing serif presence.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, combining classical bookish cues with a showy, high-fashion sharpness. Its strong contrast and crisp endings lend a sense of ceremony and authority, while the more animated lowercase adds personality and a hint of theatrical flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with heightened drama—emphasizing vertical structure, razor-thin details, and sculpted curves to create a luxurious, editorial-forward texture.
The numerals follow the same contrast logic, with bold verticals and thin connecting strokes, making them feel display-forward rather than purely utilitarian. Punctuation and small details read as fine and precise, reinforcing a premium, carefully cut impression.
