This serif typeface is built on strong vertical stress and dramatic thick–thin modulation, pairing sturdy main stems with hairline joins and terminals. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, with a polished, engraved feel rather than a blunt or bracket-heavy finish. Capitals appear stately and spacious with crisp apexes and pointed details, while the lowercase shows a slightly more calligraphic rhythm—noticeably in the double-storey “g,” the tapered “a,” and the long, elegant descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate connections and pronounced curves that read as display-oriented.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and luxury branding where its contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can work in short text settings at comfortable sizes, but it visually excels when given enough scale and spacing to preserve the hairline features.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting an editorial and fashion-forward sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor details create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, with a cool, contemporary gloss over a classical foundation.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif for premium editorial and brand applications, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama over utilitarian neutrality.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a sparkling texture and a clear vertical cadence, especially at larger sizes. Some characters show intentionally sharp, wedge-like endings and fine entry/exit strokes, reinforcing a refined, cut-from-metal impression.
