A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and hairline-like, with crisp terminals and minimal bracketing, creating a clean, engraved feel. The letterforms are relatively broad with generous counters; curves transition into thin joins, and diagonals (such as in V, W, Y, and N) resolve into fine hairlines. Numerals and lowercase show the same contrast-driven rhythm, with delicate interior strokes and a consistent, formal texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, and brand marks that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice. It can also work effectively for invitations, luxury packaging, and short pull quotes where its hairlines and crisp serifs can be appreciated at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone reads refined and authoritative, with a poised, dressy character suited to polished typography. Its dramatic contrast and precise hairlines evoke a sense of luxury and tradition, while the wide stance keeps it open and composed rather than dense.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of a classic contrasted serif: broad, upright forms paired with dramatic modulation and finely cut serifs for a premium, editorial-forward presence.
In text, the thin strokes and hairline serifs form a sparkling, high-definition texture, especially around rounded letters and diagonal joins. The design’s crisp detailing makes it visually striking at larger sizes, where the fine internal strokes and delicate terminals become a defining feature.
