A high-contrast serif with crisp hairline serifs and strong vertical stress, combining sturdy thick stems with extremely fine horizontals. Capitals feel stately and spacious, with sharp, tapered terminals and a clean, controlled rhythm. The lowercase shows calligraphic shaping in places—noticeable in the two-storey “g” and the flowing “y”—while maintaining a composed, editorial texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp contrast and delicate finishing, producing a polished, print-oriented look.
Best suited to editorial design, fashion or luxury branding, and headline or poster settings where the sharp contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It can also work for short runs of larger-size text such as pull quotes, section openers, and refined packaging copy, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is luxurious and poised, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography where dramatic contrast reads as premium and deliberate. It feels classical and cultured rather than casual, with an emphasis on sophistication and visual impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and dramatic stroke modulation for premium display and editorial use.
Details such as the very thin cross-strokes (e.g., in “A,” “E,” “T”), finely bracketed joins, and pointed, knife-like serifs create a sparkling page color at display sizes. The rounded forms (like “O” and “Q”) appear slightly vertical-stressed, and the italic-like movement in select lowercase shapes adds a subtle liveliness without departing from an upright posture.
