A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapering hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and often wedge-like, with occasional curved, calligraphic terminals that add a slightly decorative edge. The caps feel stately and display-oriented, with generous curves in rounds and crisp joins, while the lowercase keeps a compact, readable structure with distinct, stylized details. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing strong main strokes with delicate finishing strokes for a refined, print-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and other display settings where its contrast and refined details can read clearly. It can also support upscale branding and packaging when used with ample size and spacing, or as a distinctive accent face paired with a quieter text companion.
The overall tone is polished and luxe, with a dramatic, fashion/editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and nuanced terminals suggest sophistication and ceremony rather than neutrality, giving text a poised, curated presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, combining disciplined structure with selective decorative terminals to add character in display use.
In the text sample, the letterforms create a lively surface: delicate hairlines and small ornamental touches become more noticeable as size increases, while at smaller sizes the strong verticals dominate. The design balances classic serif proportions with a few unconventional, slightly flourished terminals that keep it from reading as purely traditional.
