A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm: heavy main stems are paired with hairline cross-strokes and fine, pointed serifs. Curves are smooth and taut, with crisp joins and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic feel in bowls and diagonals. Proportions lean tall and statuesque in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a moderate, readable x-height and compact counters; spacing reads measured and somewhat tight in text, contributing to a dense, polished texture. Numerals and punctuation share the same thin–thick logic, with sharp, elegant finishing details.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, cultural posters, and sophisticated brand wordmarks. It can work for short-form editorial text where a crisp, high-contrast texture is desired and reproduction quality is controlled.
The overall tone is formal and upscale, projecting poise and authority rather than warmth. Its contrast and sharp detailing evoke fashion and cultural publishing, with a sense of luxury and ceremony.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern classic serif voice—prioritizing contrast, sharp finishing, and a composed vertical stance to create a premium, publication-ready presence. The consistent detailing across the set suggests an emphasis on refined typography and strong headline impact.
The design’s finest strokes get extremely thin, especially in crossbars and serifs, which heightens sparkle at display sizes and creates a strong light–dark cadence. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright and consistent in style across caps, lowercase, and figures.
