A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show a strong vertical axis with smooth, bracket-free transitions into thin terminals, producing a clean, incisive rhythm. Proportions are relatively compact and narrow, with tall capitals and a controlled, moderate x-height; counters are tight and the joins are sharply defined. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast, with ball terminals and fine tapering details that stay consistent across the set.
Best suited to display and editorial settings such as magazine headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and fashion or cultural posters where its contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form text in high-quality print or large on-screen sizes where the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, combining clarity with a distinctly high-fashion, print-forward sophistication. Its sharp detailing and upright stance read as confident and formal, leaning toward classic editorial glamour rather than casual everyday text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a classic editorial pedigree—maximizing sophistication through vertical stress, sharp serifs, and a tightly controlled rhythm.
In the text sample, the fine hairlines and delicate serifs create a bright, shimmering texture at larger sizes, while the dense spacing and tight counters can increase visual intensity in long passages. The design favors clean verticals and precise curves, giving headlines a dramatic, carefully finished presence.
