A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes. The letterforms are upright and spacious, with wide capitals and an overall airy color on the page. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing in places, and terminals often taper to pointed, wedge-like finishes that add a slightly calligraphic edge. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation and elegant, elliptical counters; the italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a poised, formal rhythm suitable for display and large text settings.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, luxury branding, and high-impact posters where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and logotype work, especially when set with generous spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The tone is polished and elevated, leaning toward fashion and editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and delicate detailing feel luxurious and high-end, with a cool, composed authority rather than warmth or rusticity.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, modern-classic serif voice with strong contrast and refined detailing for high-end display typography. Its wide proportions and crisp hairlines prioritize sophistication and visual drama over rugged, small-size text economy.
In the sample text, the thin connections and hairline serifs become a key part of the texture, creating a refined sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast and elegance, reading as classical and display-oriented rather than utilitarian.
