A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline terminals. Vertical stems are dominant and straight, while bowls and curves transition sharply into fine joinery, creating a polished, graphic rhythm. Serifs are delicate and bracketless-to-minimally bracketed in feel, with tapered endings and sharp apexes on forms like A and V. Proportions are stately with relatively tall capitals, compact counters, and a controlled, consistent cadence that reads as modern classic rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and brand marks where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It fits premium contexts—fashion, beauty, culture, and luxury goods—where crisp contrast and refined detailing are an asset.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, projecting sophistication and a deliberate sense of drama. The razor-thin details and strong verticality evoke fashion publishing, premium branding, and cultured, gallery-like restraint.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif, emphasizing sharp refinement, vertical elegance, and a striking thick–thin rhythm for impactful display typography.
In the text sample, the contrast creates strong word-shape definition at display sizes, while the hairline strokes and fine serifs become the primary visual signature. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp transitions that match the letterforms.
