A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and heavy main strokes, producing a crisp black‑and‑white rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, with pointed, wedge-like finishing and occasional ball/teardrop terminals in the lowercase. Curves are taut and smoothly drawn, while straight stems feel rigid and vertical, giving the design a polished, controlled presence. Proportions are fairly compact with a stable, traditional structure, and the uppercase has strong, poster-ready silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, pull quotes, and other display contexts where the contrast and fine finishing can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury branding elements—such as packaging, invitations, and title treatments—especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is elegant and formal, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a slightly theatrical punch from the extreme contrast. It reads as premium and composed rather than friendly, evoking classic print refinement and high-end branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast book and fashion serifs: strong vertical emphasis, refined hairlines, and a confident display presence. Its choices prioritize elegance and impact over utilitarian small-size text neutrality.
At larger sizes the detailing—hairline serifs, delicate joins, and rounded terminals—becomes a defining feature, while in dense settings the thin strokes can visually recede compared to the bold stems. Figures follow the same contrast-driven logic, appearing stately and display-forward.
