A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and dense, sculpted main stems. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a clean, modern finishing rather than bracketed, and the curves show a vertical stress typical of refined book and magazine faces. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly narrow in places, while the lowercase has compact counters, a moderate x-height, and a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Numerals and punctuation match the same cut-thin detailing, with clear stroke modulation and careful spacing that keeps large sizes striking and small sizes orderly.
Best suited for display and editorial roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and premium branding where contrast and sophistication are desirable. It can also work for short-form text in print-oriented layouts, especially when size and reproduction allow the fine hairlines and serifs to remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a fashion and publishing sensibility. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing project luxury and formality, while the controlled rhythm in the sample text keeps it feeling composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance, clarity of silhouette, and a refined typographic color for publishing and brand-led applications.
In the sample text, the thin joins and hairlines become a key visual feature, giving the face a sparkling, engraved quality at display sizes. The letterforms lean toward classical construction, but the finishing is clean and contemporary, emphasizing crisp edges and a disciplined, high-contrast silhouette.
