A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and pronounced thick strokes, giving the letterforms a crisp, sculpted silhouette. Serifs are fine and sharply finished with subtle bracketing, and curves transition quickly into slender terminals, producing an elegant, slightly calligraphic modulation. Uppercase proportions feel stately and classical, while the lowercase shows compact, tidy forms with clear apertures and a lively rhythm; the overall spacing reads balanced in text, with strong vertical emphasis and clean joins.
Well suited to magazine typography, fashion or lifestyle headlines, and brand identities that want a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice. It can also work for packaging and poster-style settings where large sizes let the fine hairlines and crisp serifs read clearly.
The overall tone is polished and couture-leaning, with a dramatic contrast that signals sophistication and prestige. It feels suited to premium editorial contexts where elegance and visual authority are more important than neutrality.
Likely designed to provide a modern, editorial interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: elegant in display, controlled in text, and visually distinctive through sharp finishing and dramatic stroke modulation.
The numerals and capitals share the same refined contrast and sharp finishing, helping headings and pull quotes maintain a consistent, high-end voice. In continuous text the hairlines contribute a delicate texture, while the bold verticals keep lines of copy stable and composed.
