A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, producing a crisp, shimmering texture in text. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a mix of subtle bracketing and pointed terminals that feel sculpted rather than blunt. Curves are clean and controlled, with generous counters and an overall vertical stress; joins and diagonals stay elegant without adding weight. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase shows compact, neatly finished shoulders and a two-storey a and g that reinforce a traditional text-seriffed construction.
Best suited to editorial typography where contrast and finesse are desirable—magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, book covers, and refined posters. It can work for short text at comfortable sizes, but it will shine most when given enough scale and print or high-resolution rendering to preserve its hairline details.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with a distinctly editorial sensibility. Its extreme contrast and fine details suggest sophistication and a sense of luxury, while the disciplined proportions keep it grounded and authoritative. The effect is dramatic in display settings yet still recognizably bookish and classical.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classical serif voice built around extreme contrast and precise finishing. It aims to project sophistication and hierarchy, providing an assertive headline presence while maintaining conventional text-serif letterforms.
In the sample text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become prominent design features, giving headlines a refined sparkle but also making spacing and line length feel more sensitive than in lower-contrast serifs. Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, reading as elegant and set up for titling and editorial use.
