A sharply cut serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline serifs. The letterforms feel modern and sculptural, with smooth, rounded bowls contrasted by crisp terminals and fine entry strokes. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height and relatively tall capitals; spacing reads even in text while maintaining a lively rhythm from the strong contrast. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, giving a polished, print-like finish.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand-led layouts where contrast and detail can shine. It also works well for premium packaging and identity systems that want a contemporary, sophisticated serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, projecting a contemporary editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and refined detailing evoke fashion, art, and cultured publishing rather than utilitarian documentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional text serif, emphasizing high contrast and refined finishing for editorial and brand-forward applications. It prioritizes visual elegance and a crisp page presence, especially at larger sizes.
Curves are clean and controlled, with a restrained, modern treatment of classic serif structures. In larger sizes the hairlines and sharp junctions become a defining feature, while in continuous text the contrast creates a bright, stylish texture.
