A high-contrast serif with sharp hairline details and strong thick-to-thin modulation. Serifs are fine and pointed with a slightly bracketed feel, giving terminals a crisp, chiseled finish. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous bowls and clear vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and delicate cross-strokes that emphasize a polished, print-like texture.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and invitations when set with comfortable spacing and used at sizes large enough to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting sophistication and formality. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing give it a fashion and magazine sensibility while still reading as a traditional bookish serif.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast interpretation of classic serif forms, balancing traditional proportions with sharper, more dramatic detailing for strong impact in display and editorial typography.
The font’s contrast creates strong sparkle in larger sizes, with thin horizontals and hairline serifs becoming prominent visual accents. Figures appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the display-forward character of the capitals.
