A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, dark vertical stems. Serifs read as fine and sharp, with tapered terminals and clean, carved-looking joins that create a polished rhythm. The design leans slightly condensed in feel through its tall capitals and narrow internal spaces, while keeping generous counters in rounds like O and Q. Lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a two-storey a, compact e, and a crisp, bracketed flow where thick-to-thin transitions are prominent.
Well suited to magazine and editorial typography, luxury branding, and display settings where contrast and finesse can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and refined titling, especially in larger sizes or well-printed contexts where hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and premium, combining classical formality with a fashion/editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and delicate details convey sophistication and restraint, while the crisp terminals add a modern, high-end finish.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for premium, content-forward design. The focus appears to be on elegance and impact in titles and prominent text, balancing traditional letterforms with a crisp, fashion-oriented finish.
In text, the thin strokes and serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, with the darker verticals establishing a strong baseline and columnar rhythm. Numerals match the elegant contrast and include pronounced curves and fine finishing strokes that look best when given enough size and whitespace.
