A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and weighty, sculpted stems, giving the letterforms a sharp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and bracketing is subtle, with pointed, wedge-like terminals showing a calligraphic influence. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with compact bowls and a slightly high-waisted look in curves; joins and apertures stay clean rather than overly open. The lowercase shows lively modulation and distinct details (notably in a, g, y), while figures follow the same contrast profile for a cohesive, print-like color.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book titling where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also support premium branding and formal stationery when used with generous sizing and careful spacing to preserve the thin strokes and crisp serifs.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, evoking classic book typography and fashion-led editorial design. Its dramatic contrast adds a refined, luxurious edge, reading as confident and a bit theatrical without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-centric serif voice with heightened contrast for visual sophistication, balancing traditional proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing details for strong headline impact.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, producing an elegant sparkle and strong vertical emphasis. In dense settings, the combination of thin joins and tight internal spaces can make counters feel delicate, so spacing and size will strongly influence readability and texture.
