This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered hairlines and sculpted, bracketed serifs. Curves are full and slightly flattened at terminals, giving bowls a polished, editorial sheen, while joins and corners stay sharp and controlled. Proportions run generous and open, with a steady upright axis and a calm, even rhythm in text despite the dramatic contrast. Numerals echo the letterforms with strong weight shifts and refined finishing, lending a formal, display-ready presence.
It performs best in headlines, cover lines, and other prominent settings where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also support short editorial text, pull quotes, and refined branding, especially when generous spacing and comfortable sizes are used.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, mixing refinement with a confident, slightly theatrical contrast. It reads as poised and authoritative—suited to upscale contexts where sharp elegance and tradition are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on conventional text serifs with heightened contrast and widened proportions for impact. It aims to balance readability with a premium, fashion-forward finish suitable for editorial and brand-driven typography.
In the sample text, the contrast creates strong sparkle and a vivid texture at larger sizes, while the broad proportions keep counters spacious. The italic is not shown; the presented style relies on upright structure and finishing details for character.
