A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and confident, sculpted thick strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, slightly calligraphic finish rather than a blunt or slabby feel. Uppercase forms read stately and wide-shouldered, while the lowercase shows more animation in curved joins and asymmetrical details (notably in letters like a, g, y, and z). Counters are open and the rhythm alternates strongly between thick verticals and delicate connecting strokes, producing a refined, display-leaning texture at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast and refinement can read clearly. It can also support premium branding and packaging, especially where a classic serif tone is desired. For extended reading, it will typically perform best at larger sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution settings where fine hairlines hold up.
The tone is elegant and editorial, with a polished, traditional voice that feels at home in fashion and culture contexts. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the lively lowercase details introduce a subtle, expressive edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a more fashion-forward, display-oriented finish. It balances classical proportions with sharper, more theatrical stroke behavior to create impact while retaining a familiar editorial structure.
The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic and feel suited to headline use, with distinctive silhouettes (e.g., the 2 and 3) that emphasize style over neutrality. In text blocks, the crisp hairlines and narrow internal connections create a bright, shimmering color that benefits from generous sizes and comfortable spacing.
