A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines paired with sturdy main stems. Serifs are fine and flat with minimal bracketing, giving the forms a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions read slightly extended, with generous horizontals and open interior spaces; round letters are smooth and controlled, while joins and spurs remain precise. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable skeleton with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine styling, and display typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also serve refined branding, book covers, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, combining fashion-like elegance with a literary, print-forward seriousness. Its sharp contrasts and delicate detailing convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony rather than casual friendliness.
Designed to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, sharp definition, and a luxurious printed texture. The intention appears focused on sophisticated display and editorial settings where typographic refinement is central to the visual identity.
At larger sizes the hairlines and serifs become a defining feature, emphasizing sparkle and refinement; in smaller settings those same fine details may require careful reproduction to retain clarity. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast logic, producing a consistent, stately texture across mixed-case text.
