A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, often lightly bracketed, giving terminals a clean, engraved feel. The proportions read generously spaced and slightly expanded, with a steady vertical axis and smooth, controlled curves in round letters. Lowercase forms show a conventional text structure with a moderate x-height and clear stroke modulation, while the overall rhythm stays even and polished in both display sizes and longer lines.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book covers where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also fits luxury branding and premium packaging, especially for short to medium-length text such as headlines, pull quotes, and product naming.
The tone is elegant and editorial, with a sense of fashion and formal print tradition. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing lend a premium, confident voice that can feel dramatic without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast text serif—combining classic proportions and familiar lowercase construction with crisp, modern finishing for polished editorial and brand typography.
The figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and prominent curves that suit prominent settings. In the text sample, the letterforms maintain clarity through tight hairlines, suggesting best results where printing or rendering preserves fine detail.
