A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, giving strokes a carved, print-like clarity. The letterforms feel relatively wide with generous internal space, while curves (O, C, S) show smooth, controlled shaping and tight joins. Lowercase features two-storey a and g, a compact, disciplined rhythm, and sturdy verticals that balance the delicate horizontals and serifs.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and elegance are advantages. It can also support premium branding and packaging systems, especially when paired with ample whitespace and careful spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and formal. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing add a sense of ceremony and style, leaning toward a fashion and magazine aesthetic rather than casual utility.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: elegant and refined, with enough width and structure to feel stable while still delivering dramatic, fashion-forward contrast for prominent typography.
In large sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, creating a crisp, high-end texture. The numerals and capitals appear designed to carry presence in display settings, while the lowercase maintains a composed, bookish cadence that supports longer phrases when set with comfortable spacing.
