A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are sturdy and dark while joins, crossbars, and finishing strokes taper quickly to fine points, creating a sparkling rhythm in larger sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing in several lowercase forms, and counters tend to be relatively open for the style. Proportions lean wide, with generous letter widths and a steady, upright posture that reads formal and composed.
This font is best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and short editorial passages where its high contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications such as fashion and beauty identities, luxury packaging, and sophisticated event or cultural materials. It will be most effective when given ample size and breathing room.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing old-world elegance with modern editorial polish. The sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals give it a premium, fashion-forward feel, while the classic serif skeleton keeps it authoritative and literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast book and fashion serifs: dramatic in silhouette, polished in detail, and optimized for impactful display typography while retaining a traditional serif foundation.
In text settings the thin horizontals and delicate serifs become a defining texture, producing strong light–dark contrast across words and lines. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast with slender hairlines and emphatic verticals, contributing to a sophisticated, headline-ready voice.
