This serif shows an extreme thick–thin structure with hairline serifs and crisp, tapered terminals. Vertical strokes carry most of the weight while curves transition quickly into fine links, creating a sharp, polished rhythm. Proportions feel display-leaning: capitals are elegant and relatively narrow in places, while round letters like O and Q read expansive and sculpted. The lowercase uses compact bowls with pointed entry/exit strokes and small, neat apertures; the single-storey a and g add a slightly calligraphic flavor. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with delicate joins and thin top/bottom strokes.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand identities that benefit from a refined, luxury-oriented serif. It can work for short-form text in controlled conditions, but its delicate hairlines and sharp contrast make it most dependable for display and larger settings.
The overall tone is refined and high-end, with a fashion/editorial sensibility and a distinctly classical polish. The sharp contrast and hairline detailing create a dramatic, premium voice that feels composed and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif: elegant shapes, sharp detailing, and a strong vertical rhythm geared toward impactful, polished typography.
In text, the contrast produces a lively sparkle and strong vertical emphasis, especially in dense lines. The light hairlines and tight transitions suggest best performance at larger sizes or in high-quality output where fine details can hold.
