A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and substantial thick strokes, creating a crisp, glossy rhythm in both text and display sizes. Serifs are fine and pointed with a modern, razor-edged feel, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled, giving bowls and rounds a polished, sculpted look. Proportions lean wide with generous side bearings, and the overall color is bright and punchy due to the extreme stroke modulation and clear, upright construction. Numerals and capitals read as formal and stately, with delicate joins and terminals that emphasize precision over softness.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazine typography, and large-scale headlines where the contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly. It also fits luxury branding, beauty/fashion packaging, and posters that benefit from a dramatic, polished serif voice. For longer passages, it performs best with comfortable leading and size choices that preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is sophisticated and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-forward character. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing project confidence, glamour, and a curated sense of refinement, lending text an assertive, boutique feel rather than a purely neutral bookish one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif look that feels premium and attention-grabbing, balancing classical serif structure with crisp, modern detailing. It aims to provide strong headline authority while remaining controlled and legible in carefully set text.
In the sample text, the dense black strokes and hairline details create a strong visual texture; spacing and contrast make the face feel most comfortable when given room, especially as sizes get smaller. The design language stays consistent from capitals through lowercase and figures, maintaining a clean, modern sharpness throughout.
