This serif shows extreme stroke modulation with hairline horizontals and sharply defined, heavier verticals, producing a crisp, high-sheen texture. Serifs are thin and precise, with a modern, controlled feel rather than bracketed warmth. Round forms are smooth and near-circular, while joins and terminals stay clean and restrained; curves and diagonals resolve into fine points that emphasize delicacy. Proportions skew toward tall capitals and a relatively modest lowercase, with airy sidebearings that keep lines feeling open and editorial.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other size-forward typography where the contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, gallery programs, and formal stationery where a refined serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, evoking fashion pages, art catalogs, and formal publishing. Its dramatic contrast and fine details convey sophistication and poise, with a cool, contemporary elegance rather than rustic or playful charm.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif for premium, editorial-forward typography—pairing classical letterform structure with a sleek, modern sharpness for display and refined text settings.
In text, the hairline strokes and sharp joins create a sparkling rhythm that benefits from generous size and comfortable leading. The numerals and capitals present a stately, display-ready presence, while the lowercase remains composed and readable when not pushed too small.
