A refined serif with very strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are small and sharp, reading largely unbracketed, with vertical stress and a smooth, polished curve treatment in bowls and rounds. Proportions are relatively condensed, with tall caps and a compact, controlled lowercase that keeps counters open despite the contrast. The overall rhythm is precise and even, with thin hairlines and pointed joins giving the letterforms a clean, high-end finish.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where contrast and refinement are assets. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from a crisp, upscale serif voice; for longer passages it will perform best when set with adequate size and spacing to protect the hairlines.
The tone is elegant and high-drama, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward sheen. Its sharp hairlines and poised verticality convey formality, sophistication, and a slightly theatrical punch suited to premium or editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: condensed proportions, sharp finishing, and an elegant vertical stance that reads as premium and authoritative. Its consistent modulation and controlled spacing suggest a focus on polished display and editorial composition.
In the sample text, the font creates a strong headline color with clear word shapes, while the finest strokes become delicate at smaller apparent sizes. Numerals and capitals feel display-oriented, with lively curves and tapered details that emphasize contrast and polish.
