A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very thin hairlines, producing a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with little visible bracketing, and terminals tend toward precise, pointed finishes rather than rounded ends. The proportions feel balanced and traditional, with clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes; curves in letters like C, G, and S show pronounced thinning at the joins. Numerals and capitals read cleanly in display sizes, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with a moderately sized x-height and a sturdy baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and titling in magazines, books, and editorial layouts where contrast can be showcased. It also fits luxury branding applications such as fashion, beauty, jewelry, and premium packaging, as well as formal invitations and high-impact poster typography.
The overall tone is elegant and fashion-forward, with a sense of classic authority. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details suggest sophistication and a premium, editorial voice rather than casual or utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif principles: strong vertical structure paired with refined hairlines for a striking, upscale typographic voice in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, large sizes emphasize the font’s delicate hairlines and sharp serifs, giving headlines a polished, high-end look. The design relies on thin connecting strokes in several letters (notably in the diagonals and cross-strokes), so it visually rewards generous sizes and good reproduction conditions.
