This serif shows a sharply modulated stroke with pronounced thick–thin contrast and largely vertical stress. Serifs are fine and crisp, tending toward unbracketed hairlines that end in pointed, triangular terminals, giving the letterforms a clean, cut-from-metal feel. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow joins and tight apertures, while lowercase forms keep a compact, controlled rhythm; round letters like o and e are smooth and taut, and the italic-like motion is minimal in this upright design. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin linking strokes that read best when given adequate size and space.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, section openers, and branded statements where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for luxury-oriented packaging, event materials, and poster typography, and can be used for short editorial passages when set with comfortable size and leading.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, balancing classical authority with a fashion-forward edge. The extreme contrast and razor serifs add drama and sophistication, making text feel curated, premium, and intentionally styled rather than purely utilitarian.
The design intent appears to be a contemporary, high-contrast serif for elegant display and editorial typography, emphasizing sharp refinement, strong vertical structure, and a distinctive, premium silhouette.
In paragraph setting the thin horizontals and serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, while strong verticals anchor the line. The design rewards generous tracking and line spacing, especially at smaller sizes where hairlines can visually recede.
