A crisp, high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very fine hairlines. The serifs are sharp and clean, with minimal bracketing and a distinctly cut, slightly flared feel at terminals. Proportions read on the wider side with generous capitals and open counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between rounds and straights. The overall rhythm is elegant and steady, with pointed joins and tapered strokes that emphasize a polished, print-like finish.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, posters, and high-end packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where its contrast and fine details have room to breathe and print cleanly.
The tone is refined and high-end, balancing classical sophistication with a modern, assertive edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing create a sense of luxury and formality, making text feel curated and editorial rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classical high-contrast serif conventions—prioritizing elegance, drama, and premium tone. Its wide stance, vertical emphasis, and hairline detailing suggest a focus on display and editorial applications where visual sophistication is paramount.
In the sample text, the thin connecting strokes and delicate serifs become especially prominent, giving headlines a glossy, engraved quality. The numerals and capitals maintain a poised, display-forward presence, and the typeface’s sharpness lends itself to spacious setting and careful typographic color.
