This serif shows extremely strong thick–thin modulation with delicate hairlines and fuller, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are fine and sharply finished, reading as lightly bracketed with tapered, knife-like terminals that stay crisp at display sizes. The rhythm is upright and measured, with generous internal counters and refined curves; round letters feel slightly vertical in stress, while diagonals and joins (notably in v/w/x) end in pointed, calligraphic-looking tips. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with a moderate x-height, while capitals feel stately and tall, giving the overall face a poised, high-contrast silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its high contrast and refined detail can remain crisp. It fits editorial layouts, magazine and fashion applications, luxury branding, and premium packaging where a classic yet dramatic serif voice is desired.
The tone is polished and high-end, balancing classic bookish heritage with a more fashion-forward sharpness. The strong contrast and precise terminals add drama and sophistication, making it feel premium, formal, and distinctly editorial.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast text serif optimized for impactful display use, combining traditional proportions with sharper, more stylized terminals to project refinement and authority.
In the sample text, the weight distribution creates a striking sparkle: hairlines recede while vertical stems dominate, producing strong word shapes at larger sizes. The numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and pronounced thick–thin transitions that align well with headline typography.
