A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing a pronounced thick–thin rhythm throughout. Serifs are finely cut and lightly bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals and pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y). Counters are generous and round in letters like O and Q, while curves transition cleanly into stems, giving an overall polished, print-like finish. The lowercase keeps a traditional, readable skeleton with compact joins and crisp ball terminals where appropriate, and the numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and refined detailing.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems that need a classic but high-fashion voice. It will also work effectively on posters and book covers where its contrast and crisp serifs can carry drama and hierarchy. For longer passages, it’s likely strongest in higher-quality print or larger sizes where the fine hairlines remain clear.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly refined, fashion-and-publishing sensibility. Its stark contrast and precise finishing convey luxury and formality, while the classic proportions keep it grounded and familiar rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text serif, emphasizing dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and a confident editorial cadence. It aims to balance classic letterforms with a more glamorous, high-impact presence for display-led typography.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and delicate hairlines create a lively shimmer that feels best at comfortable display sizes or well-printed settings. The italics are not shown; all samples present a consistent upright, high-contrast roman with confident punctuation and a prominent ampersand.
