This serif shows sculpted, high-contrast construction with thick verticals and very fine hairlines, producing crisp interior whites and a striking black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are sharp and refined with minimal bracketing, and many terminals taper to points or thin wedges. Proportions read on the broader side with tall capitals and a compact lowercase, creating a high-waisted look; the x-height is noticeably low relative to ascenders and capitals. Curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the numerals) carry a vertical-stress feel, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Z stay clean and sturdy against the hairline cross-strokes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, premium branding, and poster typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly. It can also work for short pull quotes or title lines when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading, rather than dense continuous reading.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—more runway and magazine than utilitarian text. Its razor-thin detailing and bold main strokes convey luxury and confidence, with a slightly historic, formal flavor typical of high-contrast serif display work.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif that prioritizes impact and sophistication. By pairing wide, confident proportions with delicate hairlines and sharp finishing, it aims to deliver an upscale editorial voice that stands out at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the heavier stems and tight hairlines create strong word shapes and a pronounced sparkle at large sizes. Fine joins and delicate cross-strokes suggest it benefits from generous sizing and careful reproduction where thin details won’t fill in or drop out.
