A dramatic serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs paired to heavy main stems. The letterforms are wide and generously set, with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm that gives counters a sculpted, high-contrast look. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, and joins stay clean and sharp, producing an overall precise, engraved feel. Uppercase forms read stately and expansive, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-serif structure with compact apertures and decisive terminals; numerals share the same contrast and poised proportions.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and wide proportions can be showcased. It can also work for short editorial subheads or premium packaging text when set with comfortable size and leading.
The tone is refined and assertive, combining classic editorial polish with a sense of theatrical contrast. Its wide stance and razor-thin details create a premium, attention-grabbing voice that feels suited to fashion and cultural contexts rather than neutral UI copy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion take on a classical contrasted serif: wide, commanding proportions combined with precise hairlines and crisp serifs for maximum elegance and impact.
In the text sample the contrast produces strong sparkle and a pronounced light–dark rhythm across lines, with thin horizontals and serifs creating delicate highlights against dense verticals. The width and weight make it visually commanding, so spacing and line length will strongly influence readability at smaller sizes.
