This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with hairline horizontals and thick, sculpted verticals. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a generally bracketed, calligraphic feel and sharp entry/exit terminals. Curves are smooth and tensioned with a largely vertical stress, while counters stay open and elegant. Proportions lean toward display: capitals are refined and stately, and the lowercase has a balanced x-height with long, graceful ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, giving a polished, editorial rhythm in text and headlines alike.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and elegant typographic settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It fits magazine and cultural editorial design, luxury brand identities, beauty and fashion collateral, and refined packaging or invitations. For long-form small-size text, it will perform most confidently with generous sizing and comfortable line spacing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and high-end, projecting a classic editorial voice associated with fashion, culture, and luxury branding. Its sharp details and dramatic contrast add a sense of ceremony and refinement, while the steady upright stance keeps it composed and formal.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for premium editorial and brand use—prioritizing sharp detail, refined curves, and a poised, formal rhythm that reads as upscale and authoritative.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs read as intentionally crisp and premium; at smaller sizes the thin joins and fine horizontals may become visually fragile compared to sturdier text serifs. The italic is not shown, and the displayed roman relies on contrast and terminal finesse rather than heavy serifs for personality.
