A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Stems are weighty and straight, while connecting strokes and serifs resolve into fine hairlines that stay crisp even in larger sizes. Serifs are narrow and sharply cut, giving a clean, engraved feel rather than a soft, bracketed one. Proportions are lively: capitals feel relatively tall with stately spacing, and the lowercase shows a tall x-height with compact counters and energetic curves, creating a slightly irregular, display-leaning texture across words. Numerals mix sturdy verticals with delicate curves and thin joins, matching the same dramatic contrast language.
Best suited to headlines, editorial titling, magazine display, and book-cover typography where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for premium branding elements and pull quotes, particularly in larger sizes and with comfortable tracking.
The font reads as refined and theatrical—confident, formal, and somewhat fashion-forward. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing convey prestige and elegance, while the lively letterfit adds a slightly quirky, expressive edge rather than a purely sober book-face tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast serif voice with a modern, display-oriented punch: sturdy verticals for authority paired with hairline finishing for elegance and visual sparkle.
In the text sample, the alternating heavy stems and hairline details create a sparkling cadence, especially around round letters and diagonal forms. The thin parts are visually prominent, so the face benefits from clean reproduction and adequate size to preserve its crisp detailing.
