A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, hairline serifs, and a distinctly vertical, composed stance. Capitals show sharp wedge-like finishing and clean, tightly controlled curves, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with occasional teardrop/ball terminals and fine entry strokes. Overall spacing reads open and display-leaning, with strong black shapes punctuated by delicate hairlines that create a refined, shimmering texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It works especially well for luxury packaging, editorial pull quotes, invitations, and poster titling, and is less optimal for small sizes or low-resolution settings where hairlines may disappear.
The tone is polished and dramatic, blending classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sharpness. Its contrast and razor-thin details feel luxurious and curated, lending a sense of ceremony and editorial sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice rooted in classical proportions, emphasizing contrast, clean verticality, and distinctive finishing for memorable display typography.
Distinctive details—such as the curled tail on the “Q,” the looped lower bowl on “g,” and the ball-ended “j”—add personality without drifting into novelty. Numerals echo the same contrast and elegant curves, with the “2” and “3” showing graceful, calligraphic-like terminals.
