A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, producing a crisp black–white rhythm on the page. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a clean, cut-in feel. Proportions read slightly wide, with ample counters and clear separation between strokes; curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals stay straight and taut. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a moderate x-height that keeps ascenders and capitals prominent. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant thin connections and weight concentrated in the main verticals and bowls.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where high contrast and crisp serifs can deliver impact. It also works well for luxury branding elements—logos, packaging, and invitations—especially when printed or rendered at sizes that preserve the fine hairlines. For longer passages, it will perform most comfortably in well-spaced layouts and high-quality output contexts.
The overall tone is formal and polished, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in fashion, culture, and high-end branding. Strong contrast and fine detailing add drama and sparkle, while the upright stance and classical letterforms keep it authoritative rather than playful. It projects refinement, tradition, and a sense of premium craft.
This design appears intended as a modern, high-contrast serif for premium display and editorial use, balancing classical construction with a cleaner, sharper finishing. The emphasis on hairline refinement and strong verticals suggests a focus on elegance and visual drama in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairlines become a defining feature, creating a bright, airy texture that rewards generous sizing and good reproduction. The design reads especially confident in capitals and headline settings where its sharp serifs and sculpted bowls can be appreciated without the hairlines getting lost.
