A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharp hairline horizontals, producing a distinctly refined, print-oriented texture. Serifs are thin and crisp with a mostly modern, clean finish, while curves show pronounced contrast and a controlled, slightly sculpted modulation. Proportions feel relatively narrow to moderate across the set, with compact counters and clear, vertical rhythm; spacing reads even and headline-friendly. Numerals and capitals carry a stately, engraved-like presence, with fine details that reward larger sizes.
Well suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, fashion/beauty branding, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads and titling, particularly when ample size and good printing or screen rendering can maintain the hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, pairing elegance with a sense of drama. It evokes fashion and magazine typography, where crisp contrast and sharp terminals communicate prestige and confidence. The look is formal and considered rather than casual or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classical serif structure: strong vertical architecture, crisp serifs, and dramatic stroke contrast for attention-grabbing typography. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for a premium editorial voice.
In the sample text, the thin strokes and hairlines create a bright, shimmering pattern, especially in dense lines and around joins in letters like n, m, and w. The design’s sharp contrast and fine serifs suggest it will look best where reproduction is clean and size is sufficient to preserve delicate details.
