A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are sturdy and vertical while joins and terminals taper sharply, producing a polished, print-like texture. The capitals feel sculpted and formal, with tapered diagonals in letters like V/W/Y and a poised, slightly calligraphic flow in S and G. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a double-storey g, a narrow, pointed t, and a long, assertive descender on q; counters are clean and moderately open, supporting clarity despite the fine hairlines. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with smooth curves and delicate entry/exit strokes.
This style performs best in editorial and display contexts such as magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, cultural posters, and luxury-facing brand materials. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations where its high-contrast detailing can be shown at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and fashion-forward, combining classical bookish authority with a hint of modern glamour. Its sharp contrasts and delicate details create a sense of luxury and ceremony, well suited to designs that want to feel premium and considered.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast text serif: authoritative and readable in structure, but with enough sharpness and contrast to stand out in headlines and refined branding.
The rhythm in text is strongly vertical and luminous due to the thin horizontals and serifs; at display sizes this reads crisp and precise. In smaller settings the hairline elements may visually soften, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence the perceived sharpness and contrast.
