A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairline serifs, and largely vertical stress. The letterforms are upright and disciplined, with bracketed joins and finely tapered terminals that give strokes a cut, ink-trap-free clarity. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with lively curves and tight apertures. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and elegant, pairing bold main strokes with delicate hairlines for a refined, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, book jackets, and headline or title settings where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also serve luxury-leaning branding and formal invitations, especially when paired with generous leading and carefully managed reproduction.
The overall tone is editorial and formal, projecting heritage, authority, and polish. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a fashionable, premium character suited to sophisticated messaging rather than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: sharp, fashion-forward detail with a traditional backbone. Its proportions and stroke modulation prioritize elegance and hierarchy, aiming to add prestige and emphasis in display and editorial roles.
In text, the strong contrast creates a sparkling rhythm and pronounced word shapes, with standout forms in letters like the two-storey “a” and “g” and a crisp, angled “e” crossbar. The hairlines and serifs are delicate, so visual impact increases at display sizes where the stroke modulation reads as intentional elegance rather than fragility.
