This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, hairline serifs and largely vertical axis construction. Strokes terminate in sharp, finely tapered serifs and thin connecting elements, while verticals carry most of the visual weight, creating a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions read compact and columnar, with tight sidebearings and a restrained x-height that keeps the lowercase formal. The overall drawing is clean and controlled, with smooth curves, pointed joins in letters like V/W, and a slightly calligraphic finesse in details such as the ear and tails.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent typography where the sharp contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It fits editorial design, fashion/beauty branding, cultural posters, and book or magazine covers that benefit from a classic, refined serif voice.
The tone is formal and upscale, leaning toward classic fashion and cultural publishing aesthetics. Its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing convey sophistication and authority rather than warmth, giving text a poised, editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic, high-contrast text serif feel, emphasizing elegance and visual drama while maintaining a conventional, readable structure. It prioritizes crisp refinement and a polished print-like texture for premium-looking typography.
At display sizes the hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, producing a bright, sparkling texture; in dense settings they can look delicate. The figures appear similarly refined and high-contrast, matching the letterforms’ sharp terminals and vertical emphasis.
