A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and crisp, hairline serifs. Vertical stems are weighty and confident, while joins and horizontals snap down to very fine strokes, producing a sharp, polished texture. Serifs are mostly delicate and tapered with subtle bracketing, and several letters show lively calligraphic details such as ball terminals and slight flicks on curves. Proportions feel generous with open counters and sturdy capitals, keeping the design readable despite the extreme contrast.
This style performs best in display typography: magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle branding, premium packaging, and poster work where its contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It can also suit pull quotes and short subheads when paired with a quieter text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, leaning toward an editorial, high-end feel. Its sharp contrast and elegant finishing convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, with enough personality in the terminals to feel expressive rather than strictly austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs—prioritizing elegance, impact, and a polished typographic voice for prominent settings.
In the text sample, the weight concentrates on verticals, giving lines a strong striped cadence at display sizes. The numerals and lowercases share the same dramatic contrast and sculpted curves, which can add sparkle in headlines but may create a more active texture in dense paragraphs.
