A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin transitions, hairline horizontals, and sharp, clean serifs. The construction is upright with a predominantly vertical stress, giving round letters a sculpted, neoclassical feel. Capitals are stately and wide-set with generous internal counters, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and show crisp terminals and narrow joins that emphasize the contrast. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy vertical stems with fine cross-strokes for a polished, editorial rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, magazine spreads, fashion and beauty branding, and upscale packaging where contrast and elegance are central. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers in editorial layouts, especially when ample size and comfortable spacing preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and sophisticated, balancing authority with delicacy. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions evoke fashion, publishing, and classic book typography, delivering a distinctly premium and curated feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a premium editorial presence while maintaining clear, structured letterforms.
In the text sample, the finest strokes and serifs become a prominent stylistic feature, creating sparkle and a lively texture at larger sizes. The rhythm is consistent and measured, with clear differentiation between characters and a composed, high-end finish.
