A high-contrast serif with thick, sculpted main strokes and extremely thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, with sharp terminals that create a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and taut, with pronounced thick–thin transitions in round letters and numerals, and a generally generous, display-oriented stance. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact counters and refined joins, while capitals read stately and formal with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other prominent editorial applications where contrast and refinement can be appreciated. It also fits upscale branding and packaging that needs a classic, premium voice; for longer passages it will work most comfortably at larger text sizes with adequate spacing and good reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, projecting a polished editorial voice associated with luxury and high fashion. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like detailing lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while maintaining a traditional, bookish seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs, prioritizing elegance, drama, and a strong typographic presence. Its consistent hairline detailing and sharp serif treatment suggest an emphasis on refined display typography for polished layouts.
In text settings the dense black strokes and delicate hairlines create a striking rhythm, but the finest details suggest the design will benefit from comfortable sizing and high-quality output. Numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, high-contrast logic, contributing to a cohesive, formal typographic color.
