A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, needle-fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving strokes a clean, engraved finish and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with a two-storey a and g and compact, tidy joins. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate terminals and strong main stems that read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and brand marks where high contrast can be showcased. It also fits premium packaging and invitations, especially when used with generous tracking and solid print or high-resolution rendering.
The overall tone is polished and formal, with a fashionable editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and commanding verticality suggest luxury branding and refined print tradition, delivering a confident, high-end voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif lettering, prioritizing elegance, clarity, and strong typographic hierarchy. Its construction aims for a refined display presence while keeping lowercase forms familiar enough for short-to-medium editorial text.
Spacing and rhythm appear measured and even in the sample text, creating a smooth line of reading while still emphasizing contrast. The design’s finest strokes look intentionally delicate, so it visually rewards larger sizes where the hairlines can remain clean and present.
