A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty main stems, producing a crisp, formal rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with pointed, tapered terminals that read as slightly calligraphic rather than mechanical. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals, while the lowercase shows a balanced x-height and compact bowls; the overall color is bright and elegant due to the thin connecting strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, with distinct, sculpted curves and delicate entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where high contrast and sharp detail add prestige. It also fits branding and packaging—especially in beauty, fashion, and premium goods—where a refined, classic voice is needed.
The tone is polished and editorial, with a distinctly luxurious, fashion-forward feel. Strong contrast and razor-thin details create drama and sophistication, while the classic serif structure keeps it authoritative and traditional.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: maximizing elegance through dramatic stroke contrast, precise serifs, and clean, upright posture while maintaining familiar, conventional forms for readability in short runs.
In the text sample, the font holds together best at display sizes where the hairlines remain intact and the contrast can be appreciated. The letterforms feel intentionally sharp and sculptural, favoring elegance and impact over neutrality.
