A high-contrast serif with sharp, clean hairlines set against fuller main strokes, producing a distinctly chiseled rhythm. Serifs are fine and tapered, with subtle flaring at stroke terminals that gives stems a gently sculpted, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slab endings. The proportions read as fairly classical and upright, with compact, well-contained counters and a polished, print-oriented texture. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) show pronounced contrast and smooth modeling, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) stay crisp and controlled without becoming spindly.
This style excels in display settings—headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and campaign or poster work—where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also suits premium brand identities and packaging that benefit from a poised, fashion-forward voice.
The overall tone is luxurious and formal, leaning toward modern editorial sophistication. The dramatic contrast and refined terminals evoke high-end publishing, fashion, and cultured branding rather than utilitarian interface work.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with refined hairline detailing and subtly flared terminals, balancing classical letterform structure with a more sculptural, modern finish.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively sparkle at larger sizes, and the fine serifs and hairlines become a defining feature of the color on the page. Numerals follow the same contrast-led logic, with elegant curves and tapered joins that match the capitals’ formality.
