A high-contrast serif with hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially visible in round letters and the numerals. The design favors tall proportions and generous spacing, with sharp, clean joins and crisp, tapered terminals that give strokes a chiseled, polished feel. Serifs are fine and controlled rather than bracketed or heavy, and curves show a smooth, slightly calligraphic stress that keeps the rhythm lively in text.
Best suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a sophisticated voice. It performs especially well in headlines, pull quotes, and larger settings, and can be used for short passages when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the delicacy of its hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a sense of luxury and editorial authority. Its dramatic contrast reads as stylish and contemporary while still rooted in classical serif conventions, making it feel poised and intentional rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, fashion-forward text/display serif that combines classical proportions with dramatic contrast and clean detailing. It aims to deliver elegance and hierarchy through sharp serifs, sculpted curves, and a crisp, confident texture on the page.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates striking word shapes and clear hierarchy at display sizes, while the thin horizontals and hairlines remain a defining feature that benefits from ample size and breathing room. The numerals match the letterforms’ refinement, with elegant curves and sharp transitions that reinforce the typeface’s formal character.
