A delicate, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and crisp, pointed serifs. Strokes show a clear thick–thin rhythm with vertical emphasis, while curves are smooth and tightly controlled. Serifs are small and sharp, often with a subtle bracket or flare into the stem, giving edges a finely cut, engraved feel. Counters are relatively open and the spacing reads measured, producing an airy color even in large text. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes.
Well suited to magazine and editorial headlines, book and album covers, and brand identities that want a polished, high-end voice. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with ample size and leading, where its fine details remain intact.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, evoking classic book and fashion sensibilities. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals communicate precision and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: familiar proportions and reading rhythm paired with sharper, more delicate detailing for elevated editorial and branding use.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a strong headline presence where the contrast and thin serifs become a defining texture. In smaller sizes, the very fine hairlines suggest it will benefit from generous size and comfortable line spacing to maintain clarity.
