A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and bold vertical stems, producing a sharp, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are refined and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and sculpted joins that emphasize a calligraphic, engraved feel rather than a purely geometric build. The uppercase shows stately proportions and clean, centered construction, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with narrow apertures and precise detailing; counters and bowls are smoothly drawn and the rhythm is distinctly vertical. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connections that read best at larger sizes.
Well suited for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and refined serifs can shine. It also fits premium branding, beauty and fashion packaging, and elegant title treatments; for long text, it will perform best when set generously (larger size, comfortable leading) to preserve its fine hairline details.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a dramatic editorial snap that suggests luxury branding and fashion-led typography. Its crisp contrast and poised shapes convey sophistication, formality, and a contemporary interpretation of classic book and magazine serifs.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels classic and prestigious while remaining crisp and contemporary in editorial and brand contexts.
In paragraph settings the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a delicate sparkle, while the heavier verticals keep words anchored and legible. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates an upright text voice with a strong emphasis on vertical stress and clean, controlled curves.
