A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and crisp, hairline serifs. Vertical strokes are dominant and straight, while curves resolve into sharp, clean terminals with minimal bracketing. Proportions run on the compact side with tall capitals and a relatively moderate x-height, producing a tight, disciplined rhythm. In text, the thin horizontals and serifs create a delicate sparkle against the strong main stems, yielding a distinctly polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to magazine-style typography, lookbooks, and editorial layouts where contrast and refinement are desired. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks in premium contexts, and can also serve short passages when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is poised and sophisticated, with a distinctly fashion-and-publishing feel. Its sharp detailing and dramatic contrast suggest luxury, ceremony, and confident formality rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical serif construction: strong verticals, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp terminals that create a striking, upscale impression. It prioritizes elegance and visual authority over utilitarian neutrality.
The lowercase shows crisp joins and fine entry/exit strokes, and the numerals follow the same contrast logic, reading as stylish and display-forward. The design’s delicate thin features imply it will look best where rendering is clean and sizes are not too small, especially on low-resolution outputs.
