A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Curves show a vertical stress and smooth, polished joins, while straight strokes are confident and clean. Serifs are fine and largely unbracketed, giving the forms a sharp, contemporary edge despite traditional proportions. Uppercase letters are stately and tall, and the lowercase keeps a measured rhythm with compact details and delicate finishing strokes; overall spacing reads even and controlled in text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and branding where high contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages in high-quality print or large on-screen text, especially in editorial layouts, luxury identity systems, and formal stationery.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and fine detailing feel formal and premium, projecting sophistication and restraint rather than warmth or informality.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama for display and premium editorial contexts.
The design emphasizes display-like sparkle: thin horizontals and serifs can visually recede next to the bold verticals, creating a lively texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with slender joins and sharp endings that match the letterforms’ crispness.
