A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining stout main strokes with very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, with minimal bracketing and clean, crisp joins that keep counters open and shapes legible despite the contrast. Capitals feel relatively wide and stately, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height and clearly differentiated bowls and stems. Numerals follow the same logic, mixing sturdy stems with thin connecting strokes and small, precise finishing details.
This design performs best in display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and luxury-oriented branding where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial passages when set with comfortable leading and spacing, letting the fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, carrying a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing create a sense of sophistication and formality, suited to brands and layouts that want a premium, curated voice.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif construction: dramatic modulation, refined serifs, and an orderly upright stance aimed at premium editorial typography and brand expression.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation produces a lively texture and clear hierarchy, especially when paired with generous spacing. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a composed, upright roman with an emphasis on sharp finishing strokes and clean silhouettes.
