This serif shows strong vertical stress with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and crisp, reading mostly unbracketed, with delicate horizontal strokes that contrast against sturdy vertical stems. Counters are fairly open and the overall rhythm is measured and formal, with clean join behavior and restrained shaping. Numerals and capitals feel particularly stately, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a moderate, balanced proportion between bowls, stems, and apertures.
Best suited to display and titling contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and luxury branding systems where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the clarity of its fine strokes.
The tone is polished and high-end, with a fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like detailing convey sophistication, tradition, and a sense of ceremony, giving text a cultivated, premium voice.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for sophisticated typography, pairing classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing. It aims to deliver an authoritative, elegant presence in prominent text settings while maintaining a traditional reading structure.
At larger sizes the hairline detailing and sharp terminals read as a defining feature, producing a crisp sparkle in headlines. In dense text, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a light, airy texture that emphasizes elegance over ruggedness.
