A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and hairline horizontals, creating a distinctly sharp, polished silhouette. Serifs are fine and bracketed lightly to unbracketed in feel, with pointed terminals and clean joins that keep the texture bright and refined. The capitals are stately and relatively narrow with generous internal counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with a modest x-height and delicate entry/exit strokes. Curves (C, G, O, Q, S) show a controlled, vertical-stress construction, and numerals follow the same contrasty logic with thin connecting strokes and prominent thick stems.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display typography where its high contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits fashion and luxury branding, magazine and book editorial layouts, and sophisticated posters or invitations where a refined, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, leaning toward luxury and editorial voice rather than casual reading. Its pronounced contrast and sharp detailing convey poise, precision, and a classic high-end sensibility that feels at home in print-centric, curated settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with a contemporary crispness—prioritizing elegance, authority, and visual drama in larger sizes while retaining conventional proportions for familiar, readable word shapes.
In text, the font produces a light, shimmering page color: thick strokes anchor words while hairlines and thin serifs add sparkle at display sizes. The contrast makes punctuation and small details look refined, but the thinnest elements can visually recede as sizes get smaller, emphasizing its display-leaning character.
