A sharply drawn serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and hairline finishing strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, with crisp terminals and delicate, bracketless-looking serifs that read as finely cut rather than chunky. Capitals show poised, classical proportions (notably the round O/Q forms), while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with compact joins and a restrained, print-oriented texture. Numerals and punctuation share the same high-contrast construction, producing a bright, polished page color at larger sizes and a more shimmering texture as size decreases.
Best suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its high-contrast strokes can shine. It also fits luxury-oriented branding and formal materials like invitations or certificates, especially when printed well or used at generous sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, with a cool precision associated with luxury and editorial typography. It feels formal and composed rather than friendly, projecting authority and taste through its clean geometry and dramatic stroke contrast.
The font appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serif lettering: refined, fashion-forward, and optimized for elegant display typography while still retaining conventional text-serif structure and readability cues.
The design relies on fine hairlines and small details (such as delicate crossbars and tapered diagonals), which makes it particularly striking in display settings and more sensitive in dense body text or low-resolution reproduction. Letterforms maintain a consistent, disciplined construction across cases, giving headlines a composed, cultivated presence.
