A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and delicate hairline transitions. The serifs are finely bracketed with tapered terminals, and the overall construction favors vertical stress and crisp joins, producing a polished, print-oriented texture. Proportions are relatively narrow, with tall capitals and compact lowercase forms; counters stay open but are framed by slender inner strokes that give the face a bright, elegant color. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and pointed finishing details.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, section openers, and brand identities where high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes in high-quality print or high-resolution digital contexts, especially where a refined, upscale voice is desired.
The tone reads refined and editorial, combining classic bookish cues with a distinctly fashion-forward sharpness. Its extreme contrast and clean, upright posture project sophistication, formality, and a sense of luxury.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif feel: dramatic contrast, sharp detailing, and narrow proportions aimed at elegant typography for editorial and brand-driven applications.
In the text sample, the thin hairlines become prominent and the rhythm is driven by strong verticals, giving headlines a dramatic snap while keeping a composed, traditional baseline. The overall impression is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with a coherent set of tapered terminals and carefully controlled curves.
