A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp hairline serifs. The proportions feel spacious, with broad capitals and generous set width that create an open rhythm in words. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in appearance, and joins stay clean, emphasizing a sleek, print-like finish. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey “g” and compact terminals, while figures have a classic, text-like presence with elegant curves and fine detailing.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, premium packaging, and brand wordmarks where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading and enough size to preserve the hairline structure.
The overall tone is polished and formal, projecting an upscale, editorial voice. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the wide stance keeps it composed rather than fussy.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif letterforms: elegant, authoritative, and optimized for impactful, high-end typography. Its wide proportions and crisp hairlines aim to create a poised, luxurious presence in titles and prominent text.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become prominent at larger sizes, where the design’s sparkle and stroke modulation read most clearly. The contrast and fine serifs suggest careful attention to printing conditions and spacing, with a slightly stately cadence in all-caps settings.
