A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The vertical strokes read sturdy and polished, while joins and arms taper quickly into fine points, creating a crisp, elegant silhouette. Many terminals show subtle flaring as strokes widen into the endings, lending a carved, calligraphic finish rather than purely bracketed serifs. Proportions feel balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a rhythmic alternation of heavy stems and delicate hairlines that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display settings, and brand identities where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It works well for packaging, invitations, and premium marketing collateral, especially when set at display sizes with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and dramatic, projecting a premium, editorial voice. Its razor-thin details and confident contrast evoke fashion publishing and upscale branding, with a slightly classic, cultured air.
The design appears intended as a contemporary display serif that channels classic high-contrast letterforms with modern crispness, emphasizing elegant tapering, flared endings, and a luxurious page presence.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and fine serif tips become key defining features, giving the face sparkle and a refined texture at larger sizes. The numerals share the same contrast and poised curves, and the lowercase shows a lively, slightly calligraphic flow that keeps paragraphs feeling polished rather than mechanical.
