A crisp high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a disciplined, upright structure with smooth, rational curves and largely unbracketed terminals, producing a clean, sharp silhouette. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stately, while the lowercase maintains a balanced rhythm with compact joins, neat apertures, and a consistent, polished texture in text. Numerals follow the same contrast and elegance, reading clearly at display sizes with refined curves and pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a classic, high-end voice. For long passages, it will be most effective when typeset with comfortable size and leading to protect the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting sophistication and a fashion-forward polish. Its sharp contrast and delicate serifs add a dramatic, premium character that feels suited to upscale, curated contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice: elegant, crisp, and authoritative. Its proportions and finishing details prioritize visual drama and refinement, aiming for strong impact in editorial and brand-led typography.
In the sample paragraph the spacing and stroke contrast create a bright, shimmering page color typical of high-contrast serifs, with strong vertical emphasis and crisp word shapes. The design’s fine details suggest it will look most confident when given enough size and printing or screen conditions that preserve the hairline strokes.
