A refined serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Hairline horizontals and serifs contrast strongly with sturdy vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved look. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with clean, high-waisted joins and tapered strokes that stay smooth rather than calligraphic. The rhythm is elegant and slightly stately, with ample counters and a clear hierarchy between heavy stems and delicate cross-strokes.
This style performs best in display typography—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and elegant invitations where its hairlines can remain intact. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titling, especially at larger sizes and on high-quality printing or high-resolution screens.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking luxury publishing and classic refinement. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions feel formal and glamorous, with a confident, headline-forward presence.
The design intention appears centered on classic high-contrast elegance: maximizing sophistication and visual drama through vertical stress, razor-fine details, and crisp serif finishing for impactful, upscale typography.
Uppercase forms read particularly statuesque, while the lowercase maintains a composed, bookish cadence; details like the thin crossbars and delicate diagonals emphasize precision. Numerals and punctuation match the same high-contrast logic, keeping the texture consistent in display settings.
