A crisp, modern serif with sharp, hairline details and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Capitals are stately and slightly wide-feeling, with finely tapered terminals and delicate, bracketless-looking serifs that read as knife-sharp at display sizes. The lowercase shows a controlled, editorial rhythm: a two-storey “g” with a small ear, compact joins, and clean vertical stress, plus narrow apertures and tight interior counters in letters like “e” and “a.” Numerals follow the same sculpted logic, mixing sturdy stems with thin, slicing cross-strokes and elegant curves.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand wordmarks where the contrast can read cleanly. It also fits premium packaging and high-end promotional materials, and can work for short passages when set with attention to size, leading, and print/screen conditions.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, evoking fashion mastheads, art-direction-led magazines, and premium packaging. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing convey confidence and sophistication, with a cool, contemporary edge rather than a warm, old-style feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, sharp finishing, and composed proportions that elevate typography in headline and branding contexts while retaining a conventional text-serif structure.
In running text the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a prominent feature, giving the page a bright, high-contrast sparkle. The design’s precision favors careful typesetting—slightly generous size and spacing help preserve clarity where the finest strokes could otherwise recede.
