A refined serif with sharply tapered hairlines, strong vertical stress, and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, often ending in pointed or wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a cut, chiseled feel. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly calligraphic in their transitions, while vertical stems read tall and elegant. The overall rhythm is compact and upright, with narrow proportions and a distinctly high-contrast texture in setting.
Well suited to editorial headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where elegance and contrast are assets. It also fits premium packaging and campaign typography, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can be appreciated.
The tone is polished and aspirational, evoking fashion publishing and premium branding. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of sophistication and formality, with a slightly theatrical, display-forward presence.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, fashion-oriented take on a classic high-contrast serif, balancing crisp, pointed detailing with controlled, readable proportions for display and editorial use.
Uppercase forms feel stately and architectural, while lowercase shows a more editorial, modern-Classicist flavor with fine entry/exit strokes and delicate joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, maintaining a consistent, luxe texture across mixed text and figures.
