A high-contrast serif with striking hairline horizontals and robust vertical stems, creating a crisp black–white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with small bracketed joins and finely tapered terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are relatively open and the curves show a controlled, slightly vertical stress, giving rounds like O/C and the bowls in B/P a polished, sculpted feel. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height with prominent ascenders/descenders and clear differentiation between similar forms.
This design is well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and other editorial settings where high contrast can provide drama and hierarchy. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book-cover titling, especially when set with generous spacing and used at larger sizes where its hairline details remain crisp.
The overall tone is luxurious and composed, with a strong editorial and fashion sensibility. Its contrast and razor-thin details convey sophistication and a sense of high-end restraint rather than warmth or rusticity.
The font appears designed to deliver a modernized, classical serif voice with pronounced contrast and finely cut detailing, prioritizing sophistication and visual impact. Its consistent modulation and sharp serif work suggest an intention to perform especially well in display and editorial roles where elegance and clarity of form are central.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and fine serifs create a shimmering texture that becomes more pronounced as size decreases, while large sizes emphasize the dramatic modulation and sharp finishing. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and narrow hairline connections that reinforce the refined, display-leaning character.
