A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with clean joins and little visible bracketing, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals show tall proportions and strong vertical stems, while round letters (O, C) have delicate hairlines that emphasize the contrast. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with narrow apertures and neatly finished terminals; curves and shoulders are tight and controlled, producing a polished, disciplined rhythm across text.
Best suited for display roles where its contrast and hairline detailing can be appreciated—magazine and editorial headlines, fashion or luxury branding, posters, and cover typography. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes with ample spacing, but the fine strokes suggest avoiding overly small sizes or low-resolution reproduction.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, leaning toward fashion and literary refinement. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like detailing convey prestige and formality, with a distinctly upscale, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classic serif letterforms: sharp, controlled, and contrast-driven, optimized to create strong hierarchy and a premium, editorial voice.
In the sample text, the light hairlines and small details become noticeably delicate, especially in dense settings and around tight internal spaces, while larger sizes highlight the elegant stroke modulation and crisp serif points. Numerals appear similarly high-contrast, with classic lining-style proportions that match the capital rhythm.
