This serif shows dramatic thick–thin modulation with sharp, hairline serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are straight and confident, while joins and serifs are subtly bracketed, giving the outlines a carved, print-like finish. Proportions read compact and column-friendly, with relatively tight letterforms and crisp, pointed apexes in capitals. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate curves and firm verticals that keep the texture lively but controlled.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and refined display lines where high contrast can be appreciated. It also fits book jackets, cultural branding, and formal stationery where a classic, premium serif voice is desired. For smaller sizes, it will typically perform best with comfortable leading and careful reproduction so the finest strokes stay visible.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, conveying a sense of luxury and seriousness typical of fashion and literary typography. Its crisp contrast and fine detailing feel premium and slightly dramatic, lending an authoritative, cultured voice to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: compact, disciplined proportions paired with sharp hairlines for a sophisticated, print-forward presence. It aims to balance tradition with visual drama, producing a distinctive, upscale texture in headlines and prominent text.
In text settings the stroke contrast creates a shimmering rhythm, especially in curved letters and in the thin connecting strokes of forms like S and g. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s detailing suggests it will reward adequate size and spacing where the hairlines can remain clear.
