A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, giving the letterforms a sculpted, polished look. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a mix of bracketed joins and knife-like terminals that emphasize vertical stress and a formal rhythm. Uppercase forms are statuesque with ample internal space, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and elegant, narrow joins, producing a slightly calligraphic modulation. Numerals and capitals show strong display energy, with delicate details that reward larger sizes and careful spacing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can carry the composition. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic, high-style serif voice. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably at sizes and printing conditions that preserve its delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classic bookish authority with a fashionable, contemporary edge. The dramatic contrast and precise finishing create a sense of luxury and ceremony, making text feel elevated and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a sophisticated, high-fashion serif voice with strong contrast and crisp detailing, combining classical proportions with a more modern, polished finish for contemporary editorial and brand use.
In paragraphs, the dense black strokes of verticals and the very thin connecting hairlines create a lively shimmer across lines, especially at larger sizes. The design reads cleanly and confidently in headline settings, where the fine serifs and thin strokes can be appreciated without competing with texture noise.
