A crisp serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical feel. The design leans on sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines, with fine, pointed serifs that read clean and precise rather than soft or rounded. Proportions run on the generous side, and the rhythm is lively: curves swell quickly into heavy terminals while joins and cross-strokes stay slender, giving the letters a bright, high-definition texture. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing robust main strokes with delicate finishing details.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and elegance are assets. It can work for premium branding, packaging, and poster titles, particularly in layouts that provide sufficient size and breathing room for the finest strokes.
The overall tone is polished and assertive, projecting an editorial, luxury sensibility. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing create a dramatic, fashion-forward voice that still nods to classical book and magazine typography.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif look with a refined, editorial finish. The emphasis on sharp hairlines and confident vertical structure suggests an intention to stand out in display and branding contexts while maintaining a classical typographic backbone.
In text settings, the sparkle from hairlines and fine serifs becomes a prominent feature, especially around tight joins and small counters. The design’s crisp details and strong stem emphasis make it feel most comfortable when given enough size and spacing to let the thin strokes remain visible.
