A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines, thick vertical stems, and crisp, finely tapered serifs. The rhythm is largely vertical and poised, with rounded letters showing a controlled, near-vertical stress and clean, polished curves. Capitals are elegant and expansive, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast, with delicate terminals and a distinctly dressy, display-oriented finish.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where its high contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for invitations and upscale packaging, especially when set with ample tracking and leading.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, evoking luxury publishing and fashion branding. Its dramatic contrast and immaculate sharpness read as formal and curated rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished take on a classic high-contrast serif for editorial and brand-forward display typography, prioritizing elegance, drama, and a refined silhouette over ruggedness or small-size economy.
In the text sample, the hairlines and fine joins are especially noticeable, creating a shimmering texture at larger sizes and a more brittle, sparkling color as lines get denser. The design relies on precise curves and slender details, so it visually rewards generous sizing and comfortable spacing.
