A high‑contrast serif with crisp hairlines and substantial main stems, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with subtle bracketing, and terminals often end in pointed, wedge-like finishes. Curves are smooth and taut, with elegant, slightly calligraphic modulation visible in bowls and diagonal strokes; counters stay open and clean even at bold display sizes. The uppercase feels stately and wide-set, while the lowercase shows traditional forms (two-storey a, compact e with a strong horizontal bar) and a distinctive g with a prominent ear and stacked forms.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and upscale packaging where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can work for short text blocks in high-quality print or larger on-screen settings, especially where a refined, editorial voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic—fashion-forward without becoming ornamental. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast read as premium and editorial, lending a sense of sophistication and authority to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography: sharp, luxe detailing paired with disciplined, readable letterforms. Its proportions and pronounced modulation suggest an emphasis on striking display impact while retaining conventional text-serif familiarity.
In the sample text, the hairlines and tapered joins create a lively sparkle that benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes. Numerals appear elegant and display-oriented, with pronounced contrast and stylish curves, matching the uppercase’s formal presence.
