A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, very thin hairlines, and sharp, finely tapered serifs. The letterforms feel open and slightly expanded, with ample counters and a steady upright stance. Terminals frequently resolve into small balls or teardrops (notably on forms like j, y, and g), adding a decorative punctuation to otherwise crisp, rational shapes. Curves are smooth and controlled, with clean joins and a polished rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through numerals.
Best suited to headlines, large subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It works well for magazine design, book covers, and premium branding moments that need a classic, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining luxury-fashion polish with a traditional bookish seriousness. Its pronounced contrast and delicate detailing create a sense of ceremony and emphasis, making text feel more prestigious and intentionally composed.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: bold vertical presence paired with hairline refinement, producing an attention-grabbing display texture while maintaining traditional proportions and readable structure.
In the text sample, the thin connecting strokes and hairlines become a defining texture, especially in long passages, while the bold verticals carry most of the visual weight. The numerals follow the same contrast logic and read as stately and display-oriented, with noticeable thick–thin transitions and crisp finishing strokes.
