A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and vertical stress. The design pairs sturdy main stems with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like serifs, producing a crisp, glossy texture in both caps and lowercase. Curves are smooth and taut, while joins and terminals stay sharp, giving counters a sculpted, high-end look. The lowercase shows a controlled, bookish rhythm with compact forms and a modest x-height relative to tall ascenders, and the figures follow the same contrasty logic with elegant, thin diagonals and delicate apertures.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, mastheads, and high-end branding where the dramatic contrast can be appreciated. It also fits refined packaging and poster typography that benefits from a crisp, upscale serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and high-fashion, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its contrast and fine detailing feel formal and premium, leaning toward classic sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver an elevated, contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a shimmering texture at larger sizes, while dense passages emphasize the font’s contrast-driven rhythm. The capitals read stately and composed, with clean, disciplined spacing that reinforces the polished impression.
