This serif typeface is built around extremely high stroke contrast, with hairline horizontals and serifs paired to tall, confident vertical stems. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, often bracketed, and many terminals taper to needle-like points that give curves a polished, incisive edge. Proportions feel classical and slightly condensed in rhythm, with generous counters and smooth, round bowls that keep the texture open despite the delicate hairlines. The overall drawing is disciplined and consistent, producing a bright page color and a distinctly engraved, fashion-editorial silhouette.
It performs best in display and larger text sizes—headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand wordmarks—where the contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It can also suit high-end editorial layouts and formal invitations when set with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The tone is poised and luxurious, reading as premium and cultured rather than casual. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest high-end editorial design, beauty branding, and formal publishing where elegance and precision are the primary message.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif, optimized for elegant typography with strong vertical structure and a polished, premium finish. It aims to deliver authority and sophistication through crisp detailing and controlled proportions.
In the text sample, the thin strokes and fine serifs create a shimmering texture and strong vertical emphasis, especially in capitals. The numerals share the same high-contrast, refined construction, supporting sophisticated titling and display settings.
