A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with fine hairlines and a clean, mostly unbracketed feel that gives the outlines a crisp, engraved impression. Proportions are relatively narrow in many capitals, while curves (C, G, O) show smooth, taut bowls and tight apertures. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with slender joins and light terminals; counters are open and the rhythm is even, producing a bright, airy texture at text sizes.
Best suited to editorial settings where contrast can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined book-cover typography. It also fits luxury or cultural branding and formal printed pieces such as invitations, where crisp serifs and elegant modulation support a premium impression.
The overall tone is polished and formal, leaning toward classic book and magazine typography. Its sheen of contrast and needle-like details reads as stylish and cultivated rather than utilitarian, giving headings a poised, high-end character.
Designed to evoke a classic, high-fashion serif tradition with strong vertical emphasis and dramatic stroke modulation. The intention appears to be delivering a refined, authoritative voice for display and editorial typography while keeping enough regularity to remain readable in short text passages.
The numerals and punctuation carry the same contrast model, with thin horizontals and fine finishing that can look especially sharp at larger sizes. Curved letters show controlled modulation, and the italic is not shown here, reinforcing a stately, upright voice.
