This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with hairline serifs and crisp, bracketed joins that create a sharp, polished rhythm on the page. Uppercase forms are stately and fairly narrow in feel, with strong vertical emphasis and elegant curves, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height and tidy proportions. Terminals often taper to fine points, and bowls and counters are drawn with smooth, controlled curvature. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a mix of compact forms and delicate details that read clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, editorial titling, and premium branding where high contrast and crisp serif detail are an asset. It can also work for posters and pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to highlight its sharp, elegant stroke behavior.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a more fashion-forward, high-contrast drama. It feels formal and composed, with an upscale, boutique sensibility that suits prominent typographic settings. The sharpness of the serifs and the clean contrast add a confident, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for contemporary impact, combining traditional proportions with refined detailing for display-led typography.
In the sample text, the fine hairlines and pointed terminals give the face a sparkling texture, especially in large sizes, while the heavier stems keep words anchored and legible. The design’s contrast and detailing suggest it will look most convincing when given enough size and breathing room to preserve its delicate strokes.
