This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a vertical axis and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Strokes end in sharp wedges and delicate hairlines, while thick stems remain clean and steady, creating a polished, high-definition rhythm. Proportions feel condensed and tall, with compact letter widths and generous ascender presence; spacing reads controlled, with a smooth text color that stays light despite the contrast. Curves are carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic in their swelling, and the figures follow the same refined contrast, with lining-style numerals that look at home in text and display alike.
This font is well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and cover work where high-contrast detail can be appreciated. It also fits refined branding—beauty, fashion, hospitality, and cultural institutions—and can add a formal, classic tone to invitations, packaging, and promotional materials. For longer text, it will be most comfortable where print quality or large sizing preserves the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is sophisticated and composed, with a distinctly editorial, luxury-leaning character. Its contrast and narrow posture suggest formality and poise, suited to settings where typography is meant to look curated and intentional rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif: narrow proportions for economy and elegance, carefully bracketed serifs for smooth reading flow, and sharp finishing details for editorial polish.
In the text sample, the face maintains clarity at large sizes, where the hairlines and sharp serifs become a key part of the personality. The uppercase forms project a statuesque presence, while the lowercase keeps a calm, bookish cadence with neatly finished terminals.
