A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, thick main stems, and very fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, tall ascenders, and clear stroke modulation that produces a bright, airy texture in text. Curves are smooth and controlled; bowls and rounds stay compact while verticals remain dominant, and spacing reads even but with noticeable rhythm changes where hairlines open up counters.
This style suits magazine and editorial typography, premium packaging, and brand identities that need a refined, high-end impression. It performs especially well in headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and title treatments where the hairlines have room to breathe; for extended text it benefits from comfortable sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a distinctly editorial, fashion-forward voice. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast convey authority and sophistication, leaning more toward classic refinement than warmth or informality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: sharp, clean, and visually luxurious, with an emphasis on elegant rhythm and dramatic thick–thin structure for attention-grabbing typographic hierarchy.
The uppercase shows a stately presence with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and clean joins. Numerals match the same contrast and vertical stress, creating a cohesive set for display and headings.
