A refined serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and hairline connectors, producing a crisp, shimmering texture at display sizes. Serifs are sharp and elegant with subtle flaring and smooth bracketing into the stems, while terminals often taper to fine points. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in the capitals, with generous curves and tight apertures that emphasize a sculpted, carved rhythm. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height and lively stroke modulation, with a two-storey a and g and delicate joins that reinforce the high-contrast, calligraphic construction. Numerals follow the same display-oriented contrast and sharp finishing, reading as formal and poised rather than utilitarian.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where contrast and sharp finishing can be appreciated. It also fits luxury-oriented branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined, high-fashion serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, combining classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward, high-drama elegance. It reads as confident and ceremonial, with a hint of contemporary sharpness that keeps it from feeling purely historical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp serifs, tapered terminals, and elegant stroke modulation for premium display typography.
In text settings, the thin hairlines and pointed serifs create a bright, high-contrast cadence, especially in diagonals and bowls. The design rewards ample size and comfortable spacing, where the detailing in the serifs and tapered terminals can remain clear.
