A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and razor-fine hairlines. The design uses sharp, clean bracketless serifs and a crisp, modern vertical stress, producing a sleek rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel generously set, with wide capitals, open counters, and a normal x-height that keeps the lowercase readable while retaining a stately, display-forward presence. Curves are smooth and taut, terminals are precise, and joins stay clean, giving the alphabet a polished, contemporary finish.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial layouts, and brand applications where elegance and contrast can be showcased. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it is most convincing in display roles that highlight its crisp hairlines and sculpted serifs.
The overall tone is polished and upscale, with a runway/editorial sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and crisp detailing suggest sophistication and authority, balancing classic formality with a modern, stylish edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing prestige, clarity, and dramatic page presence for editorial and branding contexts.
In text samples the dense black strokes create strong typographic color, while the hairlines and serifs add sparkle at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals read especially assertive, and the design’s sharp detailing favors clean rendering and ample size for best effect.
