A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline detailing and sculpted bracketed serifs that taper into sharp, elegant terminals. The curves are smooth and controlled, with a polished, engraved feel in the bowls and a consistent vertical rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows pronounced modulation in strokes and subtly calligraphic shaping, especially in the diagonal and curved joins. Numerals appear similarly refined, combining delicate hairlines with strong main stems for a poised, display-ready texture.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, editorial layouts, and display typography where its contrast and fine detailing can read clearly. It can also support premium branding, book covers, and formal printed materials where a classic, polished serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is sophisticated and editorial, projecting luxury and restraint rather than warmth or playfulness. Its sharp finishes and dramatic stroke modulation evoke fashion, publishing, and classic print craft, giving text a composed, high-end character.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text-to-display serif: refined proportions, pronounced modulation, and sharp finishing details that elevate tone and add visual sophistication in editorial and brand contexts.
In paragraph setting, the contrast and fine serifs create a shimmering texture that feels crisp and elevated, especially at larger sizes. The letterforms favor elegance and definition over blunt robustness, with distinctive, pointed details that give headlines a tailored presence.
