A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. The letterforms show predominantly vertical stress and smooth, rounded bowls paired with sharp, tapered terminals, giving a polished, sculpted feel. Uppercase proportions read stately and display-oriented, while the lowercase maintains a conventional structure with a moderate x-height and compact, controlled curves. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin joins and pronounced thick stems that keep the set visually cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other prominent typography where the high contrast and hairline details can be appreciated. It can work for upscale branding and packaging, as well as magazine-style editorial layouts, especially at larger sizes or with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, evoking fashion, magazines, and formal print culture. Its razor-thin details and clean geometry communicate precision and sophistication more than warmth or informality.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: dramatic contrast, refined detailing, and a controlled, traditional skeleton tuned for display-led typography. It prioritizes elegance and visual impact through sharp hairlines and vertical, disciplined forms.
In the sample text, the sharp contrast and delicate serifs create a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes, while tight interior joins and hairlines become the defining character. Round letters (like O and Q) feel generously curved, and the rhythm across lines remains orderly and composed.
