This serif features a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with vertical stress and very fine hairlines. The serifs are sharp and clean, with minimal bracketing and a crisp, high-fashion finish. Capitals are tall and stately, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact, controlled curves and narrow joins that emphasize contrast. Overall spacing reads a bit open and the letterforms feel slightly expansive, helping the high-contrast details stay clear at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-scale typography where the hairlines and contrast can shine. It’s a strong choice for fashion and lifestyle magazines, luxury branding, invitations, and posters that benefit from a polished, high-end serif presence.
The tone is elegant and formal, with a confident, editorial sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing evoke luxury branding and classic print typography, giving text an elevated, premium voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative in caps, crisp in detail, and optimized for impactful display typography with a premium, editorial character.
Round letters (like O, Q, and 0) show strong vertical emphasis, and diagonals (V, W, X) stay taut and angular, reinforcing a precise, cut-stone feel. The numerals carry the same contrast and poised proportions, reading as refined rather than utilitarian.
