This serif shows a bold, high-contrast construction with pronounced thick–thin transitions and very fine hairline serifs. The forms lean on vertical stress and clean, upright posture, pairing crisp wedge-like terminals with subtly bracketed serifs in many letters. Curves are smooth and tensioned, while joins stay sharp, giving counters a polished, sculpted feel. Capitals read stately and wide-set, and the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face rhythm with a compact, controlled texture at text sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand expressions where contrast and polish are desired. It can also serve for book titles and pull quotes, especially when set with generous tracking and leading to protect the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and commanding, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in fashion and cultural contexts. Its sharp contrast and elegant hairlines create a dramatic, premium voice that can feel formal, confident, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for modern editorial display. It prioritizes elegance and impact, using hairline serifs and vertical stress to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing texture.
In the sample text, the strong thick strokes hold the line while the hairlines add sparkle, producing a lively page color that becomes especially striking at larger sizes. The numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with distinctive light entry strokes and firm bases that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
