This is a high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Letterforms show a smooth, slightly calligraphic stress, with wedge-like joins and crisp, tapered terminals that give strokes a cut-from-metal precision. Capitals feel stately and sculpted, while lowercase forms combine sturdy vertical stems with delicate, threadlike cross-strokes; several glyphs use rounded, ball-like terminals (notably on j and some numerals), adding a hint of softness to an otherwise razor-edged design. Overall spacing reads even in text, with a clear rhythm and a slightly display-leaning delicacy in the thinnest parts.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, and high-impact pull quotes. For small sizes or low-resolution environments, it will generally benefit from ample size and comfortable spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The tone is polished and theatrical, evoking fashion publishing and upscale branding. Its stark contrast and fine detailing create an elegant, premium voice that feels contemporary-classic rather than rustic or informal. The result is confident and attention-grabbing, with a refined finish suited to high-end visual identities.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and modern sharpness, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. It balances formal, stately capitals with a readable lowercase, aiming for editorial versatility while keeping a distinctly premium, display-forward character.
In the sample text, the thinnest strokes and serifs become extremely light, which heightens sophistication but also makes the face feel more at home at larger sizes or in higher-quality printing. The numerals share the same sharp contrast and sculpted curves, maintaining consistency with the text forms.
