A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline detailing. The design favors broad, open proportions and a stately horizontal rhythm, with finely cut bracketed serifs and sharp, wedge-like terminals that stay delicate even on heavy stems. Curves show a largely vertical stress and smooth, controlled transitions, while joins and crossbars are kept clean and minimal to preserve an elegant silhouette. Lowercase forms maintain a conventional text structure with a clear distinction between rounds and straights, and numerals echo the same contrast and refined finishing.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, brand wordmarks, and poster typography where the contrast and refined serifs can read as an intentional stylistic feature. It can also support short subheads or pull quotes where a premium, high-impact serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining editorial sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrasts and airy widths create a sense of luxury and confidence, suited to statements that want to feel premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional book-serif foundation with heightened contrast and wider proportions, prioritizing elegance and impact in contemporary editorial and branding contexts. It emphasizes refined finishing and dramatic typographic color to elevate headlines and short-form text.
In the text sample, the broad set and strong contrast create striking word shapes and generous counters, giving headlines a composed, high-end presence. The sharp serifs and hairlines become a defining texture at larger sizes, while the wide proportions keep lines feeling open and breathable.
