A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strongly modulated strokes. Vertical stems read dark and authoritative, while thin horizontals and delicate connecting strokes create a bright, airy counter-rhythm. Many terminals and joins show a subtly tapered, flared behavior rather than blunt cutoffs, giving the letterforms a chiseled, calligraphic snap. Proportions lean classical with compact, well-contained counters and a steady baseline rhythm, while capitals present a stately, display-oriented presence.
Well suited for editorial headlines, magazine display typography, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes where its contrast and sharp detailing can remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a dramatic contrast that feels at home in luxury and culture contexts. It conveys confidence and formality, while the fine hairlines add a sense of precision and sophistication.
The design appears intended as a modern, display-forward serif that blends classical proportions with crisp, high-contrast refinement and subtly flared stroke endings. The goal seems to be a premium, attention-grabbing texture for titles and brand statements rather than utilitarian text settings.
In the sample text, the strong thick–thin pattern creates striking texture at larger sizes, with punctuation and numerals matching the same sharp, refined detailing. The mix of sturdy verticals and fragile hairlines suggests best performance where reproduction is clean and sizes aren’t too small.
