A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and the hairlines stay crisp, giving the letterforms a clean, cut-paper feel. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, bookish rhythm with relatively open counters and careful spacing. Curves in letters like C, G, S, and 2 show taut, controlled profiles, and the figures mix sturdy vertical stems with delicate connecting strokes for a refined overall texture.
Best suited to display typography: magazine and book covers, fashion and beauty editorials, luxury branding systems, premium packaging, and posters where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short subheads when set with enough size and breathing room to preserve the delicate strokes.
The tone is polished and luxurious, balancing classic serif formality with a contemporary, high-fashion sheen. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of prestige and sophistication, suited to premium, design-forward communication rather than utilitarian text.
The likely intention is to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif optimized for striking headlines—pairing classical proportions and vertical stress with razor-thin details for a chic, modern editorial presence.
The design’s extremes—strong main stems against very thin hairlines—create a sparkling texture at display sizes, while the generous widths and open shapes keep large text from feeling cramped. The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, upright voice with a prominent, attention-grabbing silhouette in headings.
