A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation across both capitals and lowercase. The forms feel generously proportioned with a relatively wide stance and open counters, while vertical stress and sharp joins give the letters a clean, carved look. Serifs are fine and often lightly bracketed, with occasional flaring and tapered stroke endings that add a subtle calligraphic bite. Curves on letters like C, G, S, and the numerals show smooth, controlled transitions between thick stems and hairlines, producing a distinctly polished rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine-style layouts where its contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging when paired with ample whitespace and careful typesetting.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining classical bookish credibility with a modern editorial sharpness. Its bright hairlines and sculpted terminals create a sense of luxury and drama, making it feel at home in fashion-leaning or culture-focused contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a traditional serif: familiar proportions and readability cues, elevated by dramatic contrast, crisp detailing, and refined finishing strokes for an upscale editorial voice.
In the sample text, the contrast and delicate serifs stand out most at display sizes, where the fine details read as intentional sparkle. The ampersand and several lowercase terminals show a slightly more expressive, calligraphic finish than a strictly utilitarian text face, while still maintaining a conventional serif structure.
