This serif features strongly vertical construction with dramatic thick–thin transitions and hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a crisp, engraved feel; curves show a pronounced vertical stress and smooth, controlled modulation. Proportions feel tall and stately in caps, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and relies on long, tapered ascenders and descenders for rhythm. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, with narrow joins and delicate terminals that emphasize contrast and precision.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand systems where high contrast and fine detail can be displayed cleanly. It can also serve for short-form text such as pull quotes, invitations, and section openers, especially when printed well or used at comfortable sizes on screen.
The tone is polished and high-end, evoking classic print refinement and modern editorial sophistication. Its sharp detailing and sculpted forms give it a poised, formal character that feels at home in fashion, culture, and luxury contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, drama, and typographic polish. It emphasizes sharp detail, verticality, and refined letterforms to create a premium editorial voice.
In the grid, many glyphs show extremely thin cross-strokes and delicate serifs, which create a striking sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals match the same high-contrast, display-oriented logic, with elegant curves and thin interior joins that reward generous sizing and clean reproduction.
