A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty verticals, giving the letterforms a sculpted, chiseled presence. Serifs are small and wedge-like with subtle flare into stroke endings, and many joins show gentle bracketing rather than abrupt slabs. Curves are smooth and generously rounded (notably in C, O, and S), while terminals often resolve into fine points or narrow wedges. The lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm alternates strongly between thick stems and delicate connecting strokes, creating an animated, glossy texture in text.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, deck copy, magazine titles, and book covers where the contrast and pointed details can be appreciated. It can also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes with ample leading, but will generally shine most in larger settings and high-quality reproduction.
The tone feels refined and authoritative, with a fashion-and-literature sensibility that reads as premium and traditional rather than utilitarian. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suited to high-end, polished settings.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif forms, emphasizing sharp terminals, flared stroke endings, and a luxurious page color. The overall construction aims for a refined, editorial voice with strong typographic impact in titles and prominent copy.
In the sample text, the strong vertical stress and thin cross-strokes create a lively sparkle at display sizes, while dense paragraphs can become visually busy as hairlines and counters compete for attention. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with curvy forms (notably 8 and 9) that read more classical than geometric.
