This serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with hairline horizontals and delicate joins against sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a crisp, cut finish. Counters are open and relatively round, while the overall rhythm feels spacious due to generous widths and restrained sidebearings. The lowercase is clean and readable with a notably tall x-height, and the italics are not present in the shown material (all forms appear upright). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin cross-strokes and a refined, display-leaning build.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where contrast and refined details can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a crisp, upscale serif voice; for long passages, it will look most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairlines don’t visually fade.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, combining classic bookish structure with a contemporary, fashion-forward sharpness. Strong contrast and hairlines create a sense of luxury and drama, while the open proportions keep it composed rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif with a luxurious, editorial character—balancing classical proportions with sharper, more graphic detailing for strong performance in display and brand-led contexts.
In text settings, the hairlines and fine serifs create a bright, shimmering texture; this reads especially sophisticated at larger sizes where the thin strokes remain distinct. The design relies on clean edges and consistent vertical emphasis, giving headings a poised, formal presence.
