A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines that taper into crisp, minimally bracketed serifs. The forms feel open and slightly expanded, with generous counters and a steady, upright posture. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals stay sharp, giving the letters a clean, polished edge. The lowercase shows a classic bookish structure with a two-storey a and g, and the numerals echo the same contrast and elegance.
This style suits headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and sophistication are desirable. It also works well for brand identities, beauty and fashion packaging, and upscale editorial layouts that benefit from crisp serifs and an elegant, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is elegant and editorial, projecting a sense of luxury and cultivated restraint. Its dramatic contrast and airy hairlines add a fashion-forward, high-end flavor, while the classical construction keeps it formal and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classical high-contrast serif writing, prioritizing sophistication, clarity of silhouette, and a dramatic typographic color for display-led settings.
In continuous text, the strong vertical rhythm and thin horizontals create a sparkling texture that reads as refined rather than dense. The delicate hairlines suggest best performance at larger sizes or in high-quality printing where fine details won’t break up.
