A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, swelling main strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed to unbracketed in feel, with tapered terminals that create a crisp, engraved finish. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a polished, controlled rhythm; curves are tight and elegant, and joins are clean, giving counters a smooth, sculpted presence. Uppercase proportions feel stately and tall, while the lowercase maintains a compact, readable build with a distinctly calligraphic sheen in the thins.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial typography where contrast can read as intentional and glamorous. It also fits luxury-oriented identities—beauty, fashion, jewelry, hospitality—along with packaging and large-format posters. For longer text, it benefits from ample size, leading, and high-quality output to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, projecting a couture/editorial sensibility. Its stark contrast and precise detailing evoke luxury branding and high-end publishing, with a confident, slightly theatrical elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, vertical poise, and striking thick–thin articulation for premium display typography.
In text, the thin connections and hairlines become prominent and add sparkle, especially in mixed-case settings. The numerals and capitals carry a display-like authority, and the design’s crisp serifs and pointed details reward generous sizing and careful reproduction.
