This is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and dominant vertical stems, producing a sleek, polished texture on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp, with tapered entries and exits that feel cut and precise rather than rounded or bracketed. Curves are smooth and controlled, with narrow joins and delicate connections in letters like n, m, and h, while capitals maintain stately proportions and clear, symmetrical construction. The overall rhythm alternates thick and thin decisively, giving both the alphabet grid and the paragraph sample a distinctly glossy, print-oriented look.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-end serif voice. It will also perform well in posters and large-format settings where the sharp hairlines and sculpted curves can be appreciated without losing detail.
The tone is luxurious and composed, leaning toward fashion and cultural publishing rather than utilitarian office text. Its dramatic thick–thin play and razor-fine details convey sophistication, ceremony, and a sense of premium editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, premium serif for editorial and branding contexts—prioritizing elegance, contrast-driven rhythm, and a clean, modern finish over ruggedness or heavy text neutrality.
In the sample text, spacing and counters stay open enough to keep lines readable at display and large text sizes, but the hairlines remain a defining feature that can dominate at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and feel suited to settings where dates, prices, or section numbers should look polished rather than purely functional.
