This serif shows a high-contrast, modern construction with thin hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm on the page. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often wedge-like, with smooth transitions into stems and occasional ball/teardrop terminals. The overall stance is upright with poised proportions, combining stately capitals with lively lowercase forms that show pronounced modulation and carefully shaped curves.
Well-suited to magazine and book typography where a polished, high-end voice is desired, especially for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and section openers. It also fits branding for fashion, beauty, hospitality, and cultural institutions, and works effectively on posters and invitations when set with comfortable spacing to protect the hairlines.
The tone is refined and editorial, with a distinctly high-fashion polish. Its sharp contrast and elegant curves convey confidence and formality, while the occasional teardrop-like terminals add a hint of drama and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast look that elevates headlines and short passages while remaining coherent in continuous reading. Its strong vertical emphasis and fine detailing suggest a focus on visual impact and sophistication rather than purely utilitarian text color.
In the sample text, the contrast produces a strong sparkle at larger sizes, while the thin strokes and tight inner details suggest it benefits from moderate tracking and generous line spacing. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, reinforcing an overall premium, display-forward character.
