A high-contrast serif with assertive thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Strokes taper into sharp terminals and wedge-like joins, creating a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm even in upright forms. Capitals are broad and stately with strong vertical stems and compact internal counters, while the lowercase keeps a conventional text structure with a moderate x-height and pronounced extenders. Curves are tightly controlled and slightly tensioned, and details like the ear and terminals show pointed, blade-like finishing that heightens the overall contrast.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and high-end branding where contrast and sharp details can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or titles when given sufficient size, leading, and clean reproduction.
The tone is elegant and editorial, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing convey sophistication, authority, and a sense of luxury appropriate for premium positioning.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a traditional text serif: readable letterforms enhanced with pronounced contrast, sharp terminals, and elegant proportions for impactful editorial and brand use.
In large sizes the hairline serifs and thin cross-strokes read as delicate accents against heavy main stems, producing a vivid black-and-white rhythm. The numerals match the display-minded contrast and feel tailored for headlines rather than utilitarian UI settings.
