A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes shift quickly from thick stems to very thin hairlines, creating a sharp, elegant rhythm. Serifs are fine and clean with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend toward tapered, blade-like finishes. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with a relatively compact, structured lowercase and prominent, sculpted capitals; curves (C, O, S) show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and figures mix sturdy verticals with delicate linking strokes.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazine titles, feature headlines, and pull quotes where contrast can read as sophistication. It can also perform strongly in book covers and premium branding systems when used at display sizes or with generous spacing. For longer passages, it benefits from comfortable sizing and careful reproduction so the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward elegance. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing evoke luxury, authority, and a classic print sensibility rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion serif voice through pronounced thick–thin contrast, disciplined proportions, and finely cut serifs. It prioritizes elegance and dramatic typographic color, aiming to look authoritative and upscale in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the thin connections and hairlines become a defining texture, especially around joins in letters like n, m, and r and in the diagonals of v and w. The ampersand and numerals share the same refined contrast, giving display settings a cohesive, high-end feel while asking for adequate size and supportive printing or rendering conditions to keep the finest strokes intact.
