A crisp high-contrast serif with vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are fine and pointed with clean joins, while main stems stay firm and dark, producing a distinctly sculpted rhythm. Capitals feel stately and restrained with generous internal space, and the lowercase shows a clear, traditional structure with narrow connections and teardrop-like terminals in places. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-from-metal clarity, with elegant curves and consistent contrast that reads best when given room to breathe.
Well suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion communications, and high-end invitations or posters, especially at display sizes or in high-quality print.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting luxury and formality without ornamental excess. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast suggest fashion and culture publishing, conveying a poised, high-end voice.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast book-and-editorial serif: prioritizing elegance, crispness, and a polished typographic voice for display-led settings.
In text, the bright hairlines and tight details create a shimmering texture that benefits from larger sizes and good reproduction. The italic is not shown; the roman’s contrast and delicate joins imply it may be sensitive to low-resolution rendering or small sizes.
