A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and fine connecting strokes contrast with broad stems, giving the letterforms a crisp, etched look. Proportions feel tall and slightly narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a generous x-height and open counters that help maintain clarity despite the delicate hairlines. Curves are smooth and controlled, with sharp, tapered terminals and a lively rhythm across text; figures follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with very thin joins and curls.
Best suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, covers, and brand touchpoints where elegance and contrast are desirable. It also works well for upscale packaging, invitations, and poster typography, especially when set with ample size and considered spacing.
The overall tone is polished and high-end, with a distinctly editorial and fashion-leaning sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and razor-fine details suggest luxury and formality more than utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels classic yet current, prioritizing visual drama, precision, and a premium editorial character in display and large text settings.
In the sample text, the design reads cleanly at display sizes, where the hairlines and serif details become a key part of the personality. At smaller sizes or in low-resolution contexts, the finest strokes may need careful handling (size, spacing, and output method) to preserve the intended sharpness.
