A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with vertical stress and clean, tapered terminals that create a refined, chiseled silhouette. Capitals feel stately and relatively narrow in their inner spaces, while the lowercase shows compact forms with sturdy stems and delicate finishing strokes; the overall texture reads dark and glossy at text sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp contrast and fine detailing, keeping the set visually consistent.
Best suited for headlines, magazine layouts, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented editorial settings, especially with comfortable leading and careful reproduction, while larger sizes highlight its crisp serifs and sculpted curves.
The tone is polished and assertive, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, display-ready elegance. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details lend a premium, luxurious feel that reads as formal, confident, and slightly theatrical.
The font appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional serif for impactful editorial typography. Its strong vertical structure and fine, precise detailing suggest a focus on elegance and authority rather than utilitarian, low-contrast reading text.
The design’s very thin strokes and tight joins make it most striking when given room to breathe; at smaller sizes or in low-resolution contexts, the finest hairlines may become less prominent. The italic is not shown, and the sample emphasizes upright forms with strong vertical emphasis.
