A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a distinctly crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with tapered joins and a slightly calligraphic stress that shows through in rounded letters like C, O, and S. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced with generous interior counters, while lowercase combines sturdy verticals with delicate terminals; the two-storey g and the narrow, pointed joins in v/w add bite to the texture. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with slender spines and sharp finishing details that read best when given space.
This style is well suited to magazine and newspaper-style display typography, brand wordmarks, book covers, and campaign headlines where high contrast can provide drama and refinement. It also works for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and with ample leading, where the sharp details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, with a confident, fashion-forward sharpness. It suggests prestige and formality without feeling ornamental, relying on contrast and clean finishing to convey sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: authoritative capitals, a bright, elegant text texture, and crisp finishing that emphasizes luxury and editorial clarity.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and hairline serifs produce a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. Curved strokes resolve into fine points and thin horizontals, so spacing and line length materially affect how calm or energetic the page color appears.
