A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining thick, solid stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate with minimal bracketing, and terminals often finish in tapered, knife-like points. The proportions feel bookish yet display-ready: caps are stately and narrow-to-moderate, while the lowercase shows a balanced x-height and compact apertures that keep color even at larger sizes. Figures follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and thin joins that emphasize a polished, engraved look.
Best suited to headlines, large-size editorial typography, magazine layouts, and premium branding where its hairlines and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for posters and title treatments that benefit from dramatic contrast and a sophisticated page color.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, projecting a fashion-and-culture editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and crisp details suggest formality and sophistication, with a distinctly classical, high-style presence.
The design appears intended to evoke classic high-contrast book and fashion display typography, emphasizing elegance and authority through vertical stress, crisp serifs, and a clean, polished rhythm.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and hairline connections become a key part of the texture, creating a lively sparkle and strong vertical rhythm. Rounded letters (like O and Q) show smooth, controlled curves, while letters with diagonals (like V, W, and X) retain sharp intersections and slender diagonals that heighten the sense of precision.
