A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are fine and precise, often subtly bracketed, giving forms a polished, engraved feel rather than a slab-like footprint. Uppercase proportions read slightly expansive with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows a traditional text-serif structure with clear stress and clean joins. Curves (O/C/G and numerals) are smooth and controlled, and diagonals (V/W/Y/X) snap to pointed vertices, reinforcing a chiseled, formal rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also fits editorial branding, magazine typography, and upscale identity work that benefits from a classic, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward flavor. Its pronounced contrast and razor-fine details evoke luxury, tradition, and careful craft, making it feel authoritative without becoming heavy or blunt.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: elegant, precise, and visually striking in prominent sizes. Its wide, open shapes and refined serifs suggest an emphasis on sophistication and headline presence over utilitarian neutrality.
In the text sample, the thin horizontals and delicate serifs create a bright typographic color and a refined sparkle at larger sizes. The design maintains a consistent stress and crispness across letters and figures, with standout elegance in round forms and sharply finished diagonals.
