A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, pairing thick main stems with very fine hairlines and sharp, delicate serifs. The design shows crisp, clean edges and largely unbracketed serif joins, creating a glossy, print-forward look. Proportions are generously set with ample interior counters and a relatively compact, steady x-height; capitals are commanding and broad, while the lowercase keeps a structured, upright rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with clear differentiation and a display-oriented presence.
Best suited for display use such as headlines, magazine titling, fashion/editorial layouts, and brand marks where high contrast can shine. It can also work for premium packaging or event materials when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve the hairline details.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a dramatic, fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and polished details convey a premium, classical mood suited to sophisticated typography rather than casual or rustic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-fashion display voice: bold vertical structure, elegant hairlines, and crisp serifs tuned for impactful titles and sophisticated brand expression.
In the text sample, the heavy verticals and hairline connections create a pronounced light–dark pattern, especially in round letters and diagonals. The crisp serifs and thin cross-strokes make the face feel most confident at larger sizes or in carefully controlled print-like layouts where contrast can read cleanly.
