A high-contrast serif with crisp, razor-thin hairlines against sturdy vertical stems and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, giving terminals a clean, engraved feel rather than a soft, bracketed transition. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and overall proportions feel balanced with a moderately tall cap presence and a conventional x-height. In text, the strong thick–thin rhythm creates a lively sparkle and a pronounced vertical cadence across lines.
This face is well-suited to editorial typography where contrast and refinement are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display sizes in layouts with generous whitespace. It can also support luxury branding and book-cover titling where a classic, high-polish serif voice is desired, and it performs best when printing or rendering conditions preserve its fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing suggest sophistication and ceremony, reading as premium and authoritative rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to evoke a modernized classical serif tradition with pronounced contrast and meticulous detailing. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama, aiming to create a sophisticated typographic color and a premium, fashion/editorial character in display and prominent text settings.
Uppercase forms lean toward stately, inscriptional proportions, while the lowercase maintains clarity with delicate joins and prominent hairline details. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with slender connecting strokes and crisp finishing, reinforcing a cohesive, high-end texture in mixed content.
