A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a crisp, glossy texture. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered terminals and a distinctly sculpted, engraved feel in curves and joins. Round letters show tight, elegant apertures and pronounced thick–thin modulation, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay clean and taut without adding weight. Spacing reads a bit variable across glyphs, giving headings a lively rhythm rather than a strictly uniform, bookish color.
Well-suited for fashion-led editorial design, magazine titles, and premium branding where high contrast can read as intentional sophistication. It also works effectively for posters, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a refined, attention-grabbing serif voice, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward runway and magazine aesthetics. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing communicate luxury, confidence, and a slightly formal, high-style presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, formal serif voice updated with dramatic contrast and crisp detailing for modern editorial and brand-forward typography. Its proportions and sharp finishing prioritize elegance and visual impact over purely utilitarian text economy.
In the text sample, the font holds together best at larger sizes where the hairlines remain visible and the contrast becomes a feature rather than a fragility. Numerals follow the same elegant, high-contrast logic, pairing well with display settings and titling where a refined, stately impression is desired.
