This serif shows an elegant, high-contrast construction with thick main stems and extremely fine hairlines that taper into crisp, pointed serifs. The overall posture is upright with a vertical stress, producing a clean, bright page color and a distinctly glossy rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and wide-set with sharp terminals and strong thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase maintains a measured x-height and lively modulation. Curves and bowls are drawn with tight, controlled apertures and slender joins, and the numerals echo the same contrast with delicate, almost calligraphic hairlines against bold verticals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where high contrast and sharp detailing can shine. It also fits luxury brand identities, packaging, and posters that benefit from a poised, classic voice and strong typographic hierarchy.
The tone is refined and dramatic, evoking a polished editorial sensibility associated with luxury publishing and high-end branding. Its sharp contrasts and precise detailing create a sense of formality and sophistication, with a slightly theatrical presence at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: commanding in display settings, elegant in tone, and built around pronounced thick–thin modulation with finely finished serifs for a premium editorial look.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as intentionally razor-thin and crisp, while at smaller sizes the extreme contrast and delicate serifs can demand careful setting and sufficient size or output quality. The design’s rhythm is driven by strong verticals and narrow hairline connectors, giving words a sculpted, engraved feel.
