A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and delicate hairlines that create a sharp, sparkling texture. Serifs are fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, and curves show a largely vertical stress typical of modern serifs. Proportions lean broad in the capitals with ample internal space, while the lowercase is comparatively compact with a noticeably low x-height and sturdy ascenders/descenders. Details like the ball terminal on the lowercase j and the elegant, tapered joins in letters such as a, g, and y contribute to a refined, carefully drawn rhythm across text and display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its hairline detailing and contrast can be appreciated: headlines, pull quotes, cover lines, and brand marks. It can also work for short-form text in high-quality print or large digital sizes, especially in elegant layouts where whitespace and hierarchy are important.
The overall tone feels polished and authoritative, with a distinctly fashionable, high-end character. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing evoke editorial sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel more “designed” than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-fashion serif voice: crisp, vertically stressed forms with pronounced contrast for impact and refinement. It prioritizes elegance and hierarchy in display typography while maintaining consistent, readable structure across the alphabet and numerals.
In the sample text, the combination of broad capitals and fine hairlines produces strong word-shape contrast and pronounced emphasis at larger sizes. Numerals share the same sharp contrast and stylized terminals, reading as formal and display-forward rather than utilitarian.
