This serif shows extreme stroke contrast with a strongly vertical stress: thick, sculpted stems are paired with very fine hairline serifs and delicate connecting strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a clean, blade-like finish. Proportions lean toward a formal, Didone-like model with tall capitals and compact, well-contained bowls, while spacing and rhythm stay disciplined and even in text. Details such as the thin crossbar on A, the narrow joins in W, and the precise, tapered curves in S and 3 emphasize a polished, high-definition silhouette.
This design excels in display contexts—headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and cover typography—where its hairlines and contrast can read cleanly and feel intentional. It also suits premium brand identities and packaging that benefit from a refined, high-contrast serif voice. For longer text, it is best when set large enough to preserve the delicacy of the thinnest strokes.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a dramatic, fashion-forward polish. Its crisp hairlines and stately construction convey authority and sophistication, evoking magazine typography, luxury branding, and classic bookish formality rather than casual or rustic warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif with a classic foundation: crisp hairlines, vertical stress, and tightly controlled proportions aimed at producing an upscale editorial look. Its consistent modulation across capitals, lowercase, and numerals suggests a focus on cohesive, display-first typography that remains orderly in setting.
In the sample text, the finest strokes become a key part of the personality, creating a shimmering texture at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear modulation and prominent thick–thin transitions, reinforcing a cohesive, formal system across letters and figures.
