A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical rhythm. The design uses fine, sharp hairline serifs and clean, largely unbracketed terminals, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal whitespace; rounded letters show smooth, controlled curves and a consistent stress. Lowercase proportions read balanced with a moderate x-height, combining sturdy main stems with delicate connecting hairlines for a bright, airy texture in text.
Best suited to headline and display settings where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, pull quotes, book covers, and brand wordmarks. It can also work for short editorial passages in print or high-resolution contexts when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve the delicate strokes.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, projecting a quiet authority associated with classic publishing and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and taut details add drama and sophistication, making it feel formal, curated, and editorial rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, fashion-forward take on classic high-contrast serif typography: broad, composed proportions paired with incisive hairlines for impact. It prioritizes elegance and visual drama while maintaining a disciplined, traditional structure suitable for refined editorial and branding applications.
In the sample text, the thin hairlines and fine serifs become a defining feature, creating a lively shimmer at larger sizes and a distinctly refined page color. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and slender joins that align visually with the letterforms.
