A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a distinctly vertical stress. Stems are robust while hairlines and serifs resolve to fine, crisp points, giving the letters a polished, engraved feel. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with compact terminals and clean joins that keep counters open and shapes stable at display sizes. Proportions read slightly broad in capitals, and the overall rhythm is stately and even, with strong baseline anchoring and clear differentiation across similar forms.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display applications where its sharp hairlines and strong modulation can shine. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, luxury branding, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality rendering.
The font conveys an editorial, high-end tone—confident, formal, and traditional. Its sharp serifs and glossy contrast suggest luxury and authority, lending a composed, literary character to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: crisp, elegant letterforms with a commanding typographic presence. It prioritizes visual sophistication and strong hierarchy, aiming to project prestige and clarity in editorial and brand-forward contexts.
In the sample text, the contrast creates a lively sparkle along horizontals and curves, while the sturdy verticals maintain legibility and structure. Numerals and capitals appear especially suited to prominent settings, with round forms (like O and 8) showing smooth, controlled modulation and a consistent, upright posture.
