This serif shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm with tall verticals, delicate hairlines, and sharply tapered serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with an overall vertical stress that keeps bowls and rounds feeling elegant rather than soft. Proportions lean broad and open, giving capitals and figures a confident footprint, while spacing remains measured and even for a composed text color. Terminals and joins are clean and precise, emphasizing the contrast and giving the design a crisp, high-definition edge.
Well-suited for headlines, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can shine. It fits editorial layouts, fashion and lifestyle branding, and upscale packaging or identity work that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif voice.
The tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and luxury feel. Its dramatic contrast and poised posture evoke classic print typography—suited to settings where sophistication and hierarchy matter.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classical high-contrast serif typography: strong vertical structure, delicate hairlines, and crisp finishing that create instant hierarchy and a premium impression in display and editorial use.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine interior details become a defining feature, producing a sparkling texture and strong headline presence. The numerals match the letterforms’ contrast and elegance, supporting refined typographic systems with prominent figures.
