A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharp transitions from thick stems to hairline horizontals and serifs. Serifs are fine and crisp, with a generally modern, clean finish and occasional soft, rounded terminals (notably in some lowercase forms), creating a mix of razor-thin details and fuller bowls. Proportions feel text-oriented rather than condensed, with generous counters and a steady rhythm that stays readable in paragraph settings while still looking distinctly display-leaning in large sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with prominent thick–thin modulation and delicate hairlines.
Best suited for editorial headlines, decks, and pull quotes where high contrast can be appreciated, as well as fashion and beauty branding that benefits from a luxe, modern-serif voice. It can work for short-to-medium text in print or high-resolution digital contexts, but its fine hairlines make it most dependable at sizes and settings that preserve delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, combining luxury-magazine elegance with a slightly playful warmth from the rounded terminals in the lowercase. It communicates sophistication and restraint, with a contemporary edge driven by the extreme contrast and fine detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-contrast serif for premium typography—balancing classic, magazine-style authority in the capitals with a more personable, stylish lowercase. Its emphasis on dramatic thick–thin modulation suggests a focus on expressive typography for branding and editorial layouts rather than purely utilitarian body text.
In the sample text, the hairline strokes and serifs become a defining texture, especially at larger sizes where the contrast reads as dramatic and fashionable. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The capital set feels stately and formal, while the lowercase adds character through subtle curvature and terminal shaping.
