A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation, crisp joins, and needle-like hairlines. The proportions read on the wide side with generous counters and a steady, upright stance. Serifs are sharp and delicate rather than bracketed, and many terminals resolve into fine points or tapered wedges, giving the face a precise, engraved feel. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and the overall rhythm is clean and controlled, with open shapes that keep the letterforms from feeling cramped even at heavier strokes.
Best suited to headlines, large pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding and packaging, event materials, and refined poster typography. In smaller sizes or low-resolution contexts, the thin strokes may require careful treatment to maintain clarity.
The font conveys a polished, editorial sophistication—cool, poised, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest luxury contexts and a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif for sophisticated display typography, combining classic vertical-stress elegance with clean, modern crispness.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and narrow connections create strong sparkle and contrast, which can look striking at display sizes. The numerals and capitals share the same crisp, tapered detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, fashion-forward tone across text and figures.
