A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and extremely thin hairlines, producing a crisp, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a generally modern, Didone-leaning construction and a predominantly vertical stress. Counters are relatively tight in the bold capitals, while the lowercase shows compact joins and sturdy bowls (notably in a, g, e), keeping color dense and print-forward. Numerals and capitals feel formal and sculptural, with clean curves and precise terminals that emphasize the contrast.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and display typography in editorial and brand settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It also fits luxury-oriented identities, packaging, and event materials, particularly when set at sizes that keep the hairlines intact.
The tone is polished and dramatic, with a premium, editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and assertive weight give it a sense of fashion-forward sophistication and traditional authority at the same time, suited to statements and headline moments rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-fashion serif voice: strong vertical stems for impact, hairline detailing for refinement, and classic proportions to keep it recognizable and versatile in branded display use.
Spacing in the sample text reads intentionally tight, creating a strong, poster-like texture; the finest strokes will benefit from adequate size and high-quality reproduction to preserve the hairlines. The overall silhouette favors verticality and crisp edges, reinforcing a refined, print-centric character.
