A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms are upright with a pronounced vertical stress and smooth, sculpted curves in rounds like C, O, and G. Serifs are fine and sharp rather than slabby, and joins appear clean with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a precise, cut-metal clarity. Proportions feel slightly expansive with generous capitals and roomy counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady, bookish rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and other display applications where its contrast and hairline serifs can remain crisp. It can add a premium, editorial feel to magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and upscale branding systems, especially when paired with ample spacing and clean supporting typography.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, evoking classic print culture and luxury editorial design. Its sharp contrast and polished detailing read as confident and composed, with a distinctly formal, high-end voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif modeling, emphasizing elegance, sharp refinement, and strong vertical structure for impactful display typography.
In the sample text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture at display sizes, with prominent verticals and delicate hairlines that add sparkle. Numerals share the same crisp finishing and contrast, supporting a cohesive typographic color across mixed text.
