A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, crisp hairline joins, and sharp, finely cut serifs. The overall proportions feel generously spaced with relatively wide capitals and open counters, while strokes snap between thick stems and extremely thin connecting lines. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are clean and pointed, and the rhythm reads polished and controlled rather than calligraphically loose. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, display-forward presence, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-seriffed structure with a steady, readable texture.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for elegant packaging and event materials when set with ample size and breathing room, rather than compact body text.
The tone is elegant and emphatic, conveying luxury and editorial authority. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details add a sense of sophistication and formality, with a fashion-magazine sharpness that feels premium and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: authoritative and timeless in structure, but heightened with dramatic contrast and refined hairlines for contemporary editorial and luxury contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, creating a sparkling, high-end texture. In dense settings the extreme contrast can make the thinnest strokes visually recede, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence perceived clarity.
