A high-contrast serif with prominent vertical stress, combining sturdy main stems with extremely fine hairlines and sharply cut serifs. The shapes are open and clean, with generous sidebearings and a calm, even rhythm in text. Curves resolve into needle-like joins and terminals, giving rounds and diagonals a crisp, sculpted feel. Numerals and capitals read as display-minded, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, bookish structure with restrained apertures and a measured x-height.
Best suited to editorial layouts, fashion and culture magazines, and other high-end brand communications where elegant contrast can carry the page. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, and can work for short passages when set with comfortable leading and not-too-small sizes.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, evoking classic print refinement and contemporary fashion/editorial styling. Its delicate hairlines and poised spacing convey sophistication and formality, with a cool, composed presence rather than warmth or softness.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography: dramatic stroke modulation, crisp detailing, and a sophisticated page color aimed at premium publishing and branding.
In larger sizes the fine details and sharp serif cuts become a defining feature, especially in capitals and figures. The design’s contrast and thin connecting strokes make it visually striking, with a distinctly “ink-on-paper” sharpness that rewards careful typesetting and sufficient size.
