A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and crisp hairline serifs. The design favors tall capitals, narrow joins, and sharply tapered terminals that create a bright, shimmering texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact apertures and confident, sculpted bowls; the overall rhythm alternates between stout verticals and fine connecting strokes for a distinctly polished silhouette.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, high-fashion voice. It also fits posters and premium packaging where crisp contrast and sharp serif detail can be showcased at larger sizes.
The font projects a poised, upscale tone with a distinctly editorial polish. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing feel sophisticated and fashion-forward, while the upright stance and disciplined proportions keep it formal and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for display-led typography, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its consistent vertical emphasis and hairline finishing suggest a focus on premium editorial and branding environments where sophistication is key.
In the samples, the strongest visual character comes through at display sizes where the hairlines remain clean and the thick strokes deliver bold emphasis. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey a and a double-storey g, while the figures read as classic lining-style forms with elegant contrast.
