A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, gleaming texture in display sizes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with sharp terminals and clean joins that keep counters open despite the delicate horizontals. Curves show a pronounced vertical stress and smooth modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X) stay taut and angular. Lowercase forms are conventional and readable, with a double-storey g, a compact ear on g, and a narrow, lightly arched t; figures follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes.
Best suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial display applications where its contrast can read as intentional sophistication. It also fits branding and packaging for premium goods, and formal stationery or invitations where a polished, classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, evoking fashion mastheads and high-end publishing. Its sharp contrast and polished detailing feel poised and formal, with a slightly dramatic, modern classicism.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, fashion-oriented text and display serif that leverages extreme stroke contrast and precise serif detailing to convey prestige and clarity in print-like layouts.
In the text sample, the thin connecting strokes and hairline serifs become prominent at smaller sizes, creating a sparkling but potentially fragile rhythm if reproduced on coarse paper or low-resolution screens. Larger sizes emphasize the graceful modulation in round letters and the refined silhouette of capitals.
