A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The structure favors vertical stress and taut, upright proportions, giving capitals a stately, slightly condensed presence while maintaining clear interior counters. Curves are smooth and controlled, with tapered terminals and bracketed joins that keep the sharpness from feeling brittle. Lowercase forms read cleanly with a straightforward, bookish rhythm, and numerals follow the same contrast and verticality for a consistent text-and-display palette.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and editorial layouts where its contrast can provide visual hierarchy and sophistication. It can also work for luxury-leaning branding and packaging, particularly when paired with a restrained sans for supporting copy and when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a couture-like crispness that suggests premium publishing and brand-forward typography. Its dramatic contrast and slender details add a sense of elegance and authority, leaning more toward refined display than utilitarian text.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: sharp, elegant letterforms with an elevated editorial voice. It aims to balance traditional serif cues with a cleaner, more modern tension for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the contrast creates lively texture and a distinctive sparkle, especially around curves and joins. The narrow-ish set and tall capitals can feel commanding in headlines, while the fine serifs and hairlines demand sufficient size and good reproduction conditions to avoid thinning out.
