This serif displays very high stroke contrast with razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals, creating a crisp, polished texture. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, with tapered terminals that read as cut, not rounded, and curves that feel tightly controlled. Proportions are on the wide side, with generous letterforms and open counters that help the heavier stems breathe. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains an upright stance with steady baseline rhythm and a clean, contemporary take on classic serif construction.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial titling, and brand systems that want a premium, classic voice. It will also work well for posters and packaging where high contrast and sharp detailing can be reproduced cleanly, and where text is set at moderate to large sizes.
Overall, the typeface projects an editorial, high-end tone—confident, dramatic, and refined. The sharp contrast and precise finishing give it a luxe, fashion-forward feel while still staying rooted in traditional book-serif cues.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif for display use, balancing classical proportions with crisp, modern finishing. Its wide stance and pronounced thick–thin modulation suggest a focus on impactful typography with an upscale, editorial character.
In the sample text, the contrast produces a strong sparkle at larger sizes, with hairlines becoming a key part of the texture. The uppercase feels especially authoritative and display-oriented, while the lowercase keeps a composed, readable rhythm with clearly differentiated shapes.
