A high-contrast, upright roman with a crisp, editorial silhouette. Strokes alternate between very thick verticals and hairline horizontals and diagonals, creating a dramatic rhythm and bright interior counters. Serifs are present and tend toward sharp, wedge-like forms with subtle bracketing, while joins stay clean and controlled. Proportions feel moderately condensed in some letters and more open in rounds, with tall capitals, narrow crossbars, and a clean, vertical axis throughout.
This style performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, poster titling, and upscale packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated without the thin strokes getting lost.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, with a polished luxury feel. Its strong thick–thin transitions and sharp finishing details read as sophisticated and fashion-forward while still rooted in traditional book and magazine typography.
The design intention appears to be a modern, high-contrast serif aimed at premium editorial and brand communications, prioritizing elegance, dramatic rhythm, and crisp typographic color in larger sizes.
In the sample text, the hairlines and thin serifs become particularly delicate, so spacing and size choices will noticeably affect perceived crispness. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant curves and fine terminals that echo the uppercase rhythm.
