A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical, upright stance. Serifs are fine and sharp, often lightly bracketed, with crisp, tapered joins that emphasize a chiseled, calligraphic stroke logic. Capitals read tall and stately with generous curves and strong stem weight, while lowercase forms maintain a moderate x-height and clean, open counters. Overall rhythm is elegant and formal, with slightly varied character widths and a smooth, polished texture in text.
Well suited to magazine typography, book and journal display, and other editorial contexts where refined contrast is an asset. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly in titles, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments.
The font conveys a refined, editorial tone—poised and upscale with a hint of drama from its hairline details and bold main strokes. It feels rooted in classical book and fashion typography, projecting authority, sophistication, and ceremony.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with modern sharpness—balancing traditional proportions and vertical stress with crisp hairlines for a premium, attention-grabbing presence in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the contrast and delicate serifs create a crisp, high-end sparkle at larger sizes, while the hairlines and tight apertures become more visually demanding as size decreases. Numerals appear lining-style with similarly high contrast and elegant curves, matching the text’s formal character.
