A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and fuller verticals that broaden into subtly flared, wedge-like endings. The letterforms show crisp, pointed junctions and smooth, rounded bowls, creating a polished rhythm with a slightly calligraphic feel. Serifs are concise and tapered rather than slabby, with gentle bracketing and a consistent, upright stance. Proportions lean toward display: capitals are statuesque, while lowercase counters stay open and clean, supporting readable word shapes at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, magazine settings, and brand marks where contrast and refinement can take center stage. It will also work well for invitations, packaging, and large-format typography where the sharp detailing and tapered serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is sophisticated and modern-classic, combining editorial poise with a touch of fashion-forward sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and precise finishing convey luxury, confidence, and formality without feeling ornamental.
Likely designed as a contemporary display serif that channels high-end editorial typography: dramatic contrast, controlled flaring, and clean proportions aimed at delivering elegance and strong typographic presence.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin pattern produces a lively texture and clear hierarchy, especially in capitals and numerals. Diagonals and apexes (as seen in forms like A, V, W, and y) are notably crisp, while round letters maintain smooth, controlled curves that keep the design from feeling brittle.
