A high‑contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, giving stems a carved, polished look. Proportions feel fairly classical with a moderate x-height, narrow internal apertures in places, and lively curve-to-stem transitions; round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation. Numerals and capitals present a stately rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a clear, bookish structure with delicate joins and precise terminals.
This font is well suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and feature intros where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitation-style applications that call for a classic, elevated voice.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, leaning toward luxury editorial typography rather than utilitarian text. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions convey formality and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical, high-fashion edge in larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif: elegant, sharply finished, and optimized for impact in display typography while still retaining familiar book serif letterforms.
In continuous text the thin strokes and tight inner counters create a sparkling texture that benefits from generous size and comfortable line spacing. The design reads cleanly and confidently in headings, but the finest details are visually prominent and may feel intense at small sizes or on low-resolution output.
