A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, thick vertical stems, and sharp, finely tapered serifs. The forms favor vertical stress and show a lively, calligraphic modulation, with thin connecting strokes and pointed terminals that stay clean even at display sizes. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm and a balanced x-height; overall spacing reads controlled and formal rather than airy. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and pronounced thick–thin transitions.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and fine details can read clearly. It also fits fashion and lifestyle magazines, premium branding, and packaging that benefit from a sophisticated, upscale voice. For extended text, it will perform best at comfortable sizes and on high-quality output where hairlines won’t break down.
The tone is refined and theatrical, projecting a polished editorial elegance associated with luxury branding and classic print typography. Its sharp contrast and poised construction give it a confident, high-end presence that feels at home in sophisticated, style-driven contexts.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic high-contrast serif model for contemporary editorial and brand use, emphasizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama while preserving conventional letterform structure.
Distinctive details include a sweeping tail on the Q, a delicate crossbar on t, and narrow, blade-like joins on letters such as k and y, all reinforcing a crisp, engraved-like finish. The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity at larger sizes, with contrast creating sparkle across lines.
