A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, extremely thin hairlines, and sharp, delicate bracketless serifs. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with a distinctly vertical stress and pointed, tapered terminals on letters like C, S, and a. Uppercase proportions feel stately and somewhat narrow, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with compact, polished shapes and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same display-minded logic, pairing sturdy main strokes with fine, needle-like details for a clean, fashion-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and branding systems that want an upscale, editorial voice. It can also work for invitations and refined packaging where sharp contrast and clean serif detailing are an asset, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is sophisticated and formal, with a contemporary editorial sheen. Its razor-thin details and poised proportions convey luxury, prestige, and a measured, high-end restraint rather than warmth or casualness.
Likely designed to deliver a modern classic serif look that signals elegance and authority, using extreme contrast and disciplined, vertical construction to create a premium, editorial presence.
The design relies on fine hairlines and sharp terminals that read especially well at larger sizes, where the contrast and detailing become a central part of the visual character. In dense settings, the thin strokes can visually recede compared to the strong verticals, emphasizing a crisp, high-fashion cadence.
