This serif typeface features pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and sharp, tapered terminals. The overall construction is upright and disciplined, with a strong vertical axis and crisp joins that give counters and apertures a clean, chiseled feel. Capitals are stately and high-contrast, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height with compact, carefully controlled curves; the two-story a and g are classic in structure. Numerals share the same high-contrast rhythm, with delicate horizontals and confident verticals that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book titles where high contrast can provide hierarchy and sophistication. It also performs strongly in luxury branding, invitations, and display settings that benefit from refined serifs and dramatic stroke modulation.
The tone is polished and cultured, evoking high-end editorial typography and traditional bookish authority. Its contrast and razor-like detailing add a sense of luxury and drama, making text feel intentional and curated rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic text serif: traditional letter skeletons paired with heightened contrast and crisp detailing to create an upscale editorial voice.
In running text, the fine hairlines and tight inner details create a bright, sparkling texture with clear word shapes, especially when set at comfortable sizes. The design’s precision favors clean reproduction and benefits from generous leading and careful handling on low-resolution or high-ink-gain output where delicate strokes may soften.
