A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong vertical axis. Hairline serifs and joining strokes read sharp and precise, while the main stems carry the visual weight, producing a bright, airy texture in text. Capitals are stately with wide, sculpted curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and tapered diagonals; the lowercase shows a compact, controlled rhythm with small apertures and delicate entry strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin connecting strokes and smooth, calligraphic curvature.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, covers, and other display settings where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for magazine and brand typography that aims for a refined, high-end impression, especially when paired with generous leading and thoughtful tracking.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—poised, premium, and slightly dramatic. Its fine details and crisp contrast suggest sophistication and formality, evoking fashion spreads, cultural institutions, and upscale branding rather than utilitarian document work.
Likely designed to deliver a modernized, high-contrast serif voice with classic proportions—prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a premium editorial feel. The consistent vertical stress and disciplined detailing suggest an intent to perform reliably in display typography while maintaining a distinctly luxurious character.
In the sample text, the light hairlines and tight inner spaces create an elegant shimmer at display sizes, while the high contrast makes spacing and line length feel especially important for comfortable reading. Round forms are carefully tensioned and the overall silhouette stays clean and controlled, with minimal flourish beyond the contrast-driven detailing.
