A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharply cut, often lightly bracketed, with hairline cross-strokes that create a crisp, polished rhythm. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively wide in places, while lowercase shows a compact, text-ready structure with firm, vertical stems and clean joins. Numerals share the same dramatic contrast and poised proportions, maintaining a consistent, formal color on the page.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand moments where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry the voice. It performs especially well in larger sizes for titles and display lines where the hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, with a distinctly upscale, fashion-forward polish. Its sharp hairlines and confident verticals convey formality and refinement, leaning more toward display elegance than casual text warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a strong editorial voice for premium-looking layouts.
In the sample text, the dense contrast produces a sparkling texture at larger sizes, with punctuation and dots reading as crisp, round details. The design’s fine horizontals and delicate serifs emphasize precision and give headlines a luxurious, high-end presence.
