A high-contrast serif with broad, stately proportions and crisp, hairline detailing. Vertical stems carry most of the weight while horizontals and serifs fall to very thin strokes, producing a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed in feel, with sharp entry points and delicate beak and hook-like endings on several letters; counters are generous and forms are cleanly drawn with smooth curves. Lowercase shows compact, controlled shapes with a single-storey g, a brisk ear on r, and a t with a slender crossbar; figures mix elegant curves with pointed, calligraphic stress and occasional teardrop-like terminals.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, luxury branding, and high-end packaging where the contrast and wide proportions can be showcased. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but the hairline details suggest avoiding very small sizes or low-resolution printing where thin strokes may break up.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, leaning toward couture and magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and expansive stance read as confident and upscale, with a slightly vintage, display-forward sophistication rather than a purely utilitarian text voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion serif voice: commanding in scale, refined in detail, and visually striking through extreme contrast and delicate finishing. It prioritizes elegance and impact over neutrality, aiming for premium editorial and brand expression.
In the sample text, the extreme contrast remains crisp at large sizes, and the wide letterforms create an airy, headline-oriented texture. Curved letters (C, S, O) show a consistent stress and smooth modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X) retain razor-thin hairlines that add sparkle but also increase sensitivity to size and reproduction conditions.
