This serif shows a sharply modulated stroke system with thin hairlines set against strong vertical stems. Serifs are delicate and pointed, with a clean, polished finish and minimal bracketing, giving the forms a precise, cut-from-metal feel. Uppercase letters are tall and stately with generous inner counters (notably in C, O, and Q), while lowercase maintains a composed rhythm with compact joins and narrow, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall spacing reads open and airy, helping the very fine details remain legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same high-fashion contrast, with sculpted bowls and thin connecting strokes.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine headlines, fashion lookbooks, luxury brand identities, and poster typography where contrast can be showcased. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads in print-quality settings, but will generally be less comfortable for long passages at small sizes due to its fine hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and upscale, evoking luxury branding and editorial typography. Its crisp hairlines and poised proportions create a sense of drama and formality, with a modern, runway-like sheen rather than a warm, bookish feel.
The likely intention is a contemporary, high-contrast serif built for sophisticated display typography—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a premium visual voice. Its proportions and detailing suggest it is meant to deliver impact in headings while maintaining a clean, modern editorial finish.
The design relies on fine horizontals and hairline serifs that will visually soften at small sizes or on low-resolution output, while looking especially striking in large headings. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s overall posture is straight and composed with a distinctly vertical emphasis.
