A high-contrast serif with tall, poised capitals and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design uses razor-thin hairlines and sharp, unbracketed serifs that read clean and bright against the heavier vertical stems, with a clear vertical stress in rounded forms. Curves are smooth and slightly sculpted, and several joins show a subtle calligraphic flare rather than geometric construction. Proportions feel relatively narrow in many letters, while spacing and sidebearings appear to vary by glyph, giving the overall texture a lively, editorial rhythm in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other display roles where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications—logos, beauty/fashion packaging, and event materials—especially when paired with a restrained layout and ample whitespace.
The tone is polished and high-end, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing create a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the slightly expressive stroke shaping keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance and visual drama. It prioritizes crisp hairlines, vertical authority, and an upscale editorial voice for display-driven composition.
In the sample text, the strongest impression is the sparkling contrast—hairlines can appear extremely delicate at smaller sizes, while the bold verticals maintain authority. Numerals and capitals feel particularly display-forward, with a refined, classic silhouette and a distinctly modern sharpness in terminals and serifs.
