A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, mostly unbracketed serifs. The letterforms feel tightly drawn with a compact set width and a disciplined, upright axis, producing a clean vertical rhythm in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, with small, sharp details at joins and terminals; counters stay relatively narrow, emphasizing the dark–light interplay typical of display-oriented serif construction. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined, tensile structure, with prominent thick strokes and delicate connecting elements.
Best suited to headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, and high-impact titling where contrast and refinement are key. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at larger sizes, and works well for event materials that benefit from a formal, classic voice.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its stark contrast and sharp finishing details evoke luxury, ceremony, and classic print culture, reading as confident and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: maximizing elegance and visual drama through vertical emphasis, precise serifs, and hairline detailing while maintaining a conventional, readable structure.
The design’s extreme stroke modulation makes it most convincing when given enough size and resolution for the hairlines to hold up. Spacing appears measured and consistent, creating a steady, column-like texture that reads distinctly “formal” in continuous text.
