This serif shows a stark thick–thin modulation with vertical stress and crisp, unbracketed hairline serifs. Capitals are tall and statuesque with clean, straight stems and broad, controlled curves, while the lowercase keeps a measured, bookish rhythm with modest x-height and generous ascenders. Joins and terminals are precise and sharp, and round letters (O, C, G) are smooth and evenly drawn, contrasting strongly with the needle-thin horizontals and diagonals seen in forms like E, F, K, V, W, and X. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender entry strokes and fine serifs that give numerals a formal, display-oriented texture.
This face is best suited to display settings such as magazine titles, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and book-cover typography where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short, carefully set passages or pull quotes when size and reproduction allow the thin strokes to remain intact.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, evoking classic print refinement and contemporary luxury. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details read as formal, stylish, and confident, with a distinctly editorial sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing sophistication and visual drama through vertical emphasis, hairline serifs, and carefully controlled proportions.
At text sizes the hairlines and thin cross-strokes become a defining feature, producing a bright, airy color and a sharp rhythm between vertical stems and delicate horizontals. The italic is not shown; the roman relies on upright posture and meticulous finishing to carry expression.
