A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes alternate between sturdy stems and very fine connecting hairlines, producing a bright, sparkling texture in text. Uppercase forms are stately and moderately wide with sharp, clean terminals; the lowercase shows compact proportions with a comparatively short x-height and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Details such as the pointed joins in V/W, the delicate crossbars (E/F/T), and the fine, tapered curves in S and numerals reinforce a precise, polished finish.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and title treatments, where its contrast and refined detailing can shine. It can also support upscale branding and packaging, and works well for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes with adequate spacing and quality output.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its contrast and sharp detailing convey sophistication and ceremony, evoking fashion, cultural institutions, and premium publishing rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice: strong vertical structure, dramatic contrast, and carefully finished serifs that emphasize elegance and typographic authority. The compact lowercase and prominent capitals suggest an intention to create impactful, stylish composition with a traditional underpinning.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a lively rhythm and clear hierarchy, especially where large capitals and numerals appear. The finest hairlines and serifs are visually delicate, so the face reads best when reproduction is clean and sizes are not overly small.
