A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a bright, sculpted texture on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, with pointed terminals and a sharp, calligraphic finish on diagonals and joins. Proportions run on the wide side with ample counters and open apertures, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled. The overall rhythm feels orderly and polished, with strong thick–thin transitions that read best when given space.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, book covers, and other editorial display settings where contrast and elegance are assets. It can also support premium branding and packaging, particularly when used at larger sizes with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is refined and literary, projecting an editorial confidence associated with fashion, culture, and prestige publishing. Its sharp detailing and glossy contrast create a sense of ceremony and sophistication rather than casual warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for impactful, polished typography. The wide proportions and sharp finishing details suggest an emphasis on display presence and a refined, upscale voice.
In the sample text, the contrast and delicate hairlines become especially prominent at display sizes, where the pointed terminals and bracketed serifs add sparkle. Numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, and the design’s crisp joins and narrow hairlines suggest it will benefit from careful size and spacing choices to avoid brittle-looking details.
