A high-contrast serif with a crisp, editorial build: thick, sculpted stems are paired with hairline connecting strokes and sharp, wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and smoothly drawn, while joins and terminals stay precise, giving counters a clean, polished finish. Proportions lean wide in the round letters and numerals, with steady vertical stress and a composed rhythm in text. The lowercase keeps a measured, readable x-height, with delicate details—such as the slender beaks and finials—adding a distinctly sharp, modern refinement.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine typography, branding, and posters where its high-contrast detailing can read cleanly and create impact. It can also work for short editorial passages and pull quotes when set with comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and dramatic, balancing classic bookish cues with a fashion-forward sheen. It feels poised and confident, suited to designs that want elegance with a bit of bite—more runway and magazine than rustic or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: wide, authoritative letterforms with dramatic contrast and crisp, finely cut details. It aims to project sophistication and clarity in high-end editorial and brand contexts.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairline features become especially prominent at display sizes, where the sharp serifs and tapered terminals create a vivid black-and-white texture. The numerals and capitals carry a stately presence, while the lowercase maintains enough restraint to keep longer lines visually organized.
