A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, hairline bracketless serifs. The drawing favors vertical stress and clean, straight stems, while curves (notably in C, O, and S) transition into very fine exits that create a sharp, polished rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with pointed interior joins in forms like M and N and a distinctive, swooping tail on Q. Lowercase shows compact, controlled proportions with a two-storey a and g, a teardrop-like ball on j, and a slender, high-contrast t with a small crossbar, yielding an overall refined, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to display and editorial settings where sharp contrast and hairline details can be appreciated—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book jackets, posters, and premium brand identities. It can also serve as a supporting text face in high-quality print or larger digital sizes when sufficient resolution and size preserve the thin strokes.
The tone is formal and cultivated, leaning toward luxury and editorial sophistication. Its extreme contrast and delicate detailing read as stylish and confident, with a classic bookish underpinning that feels more fashion-magazine than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, couture-like finish—prioritizing elegance, crispness, and dramatic typographic color for prominent reading situations.
The figures appear lining with strong contrast; round digits (0, 8, 9) emphasize vertical stress and fine hairlines, while 2 and 3 show rounded, sculpted terminals. Spacing in the sample text produces a bright, airy color typical of modern high-contrast serifs, where fine strokes can visually recede at smaller sizes.
