A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear vertical stress. The letterforms have wide, confident proportions and a strong baseline presence, with razor-thin hairlines, delicate unbracketed serifs, and sharply tapered joins that create a crisp, cut-paper feel. Curves in C, G, O, and Q are smooth and controlled, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Y read as sturdy wedges against fine connecting strokes. Numerals are similarly contrasty and stylized, with distinctive shapes (notably the 2, 3, 5, and 9) that favor display clarity over neutrality.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, fashion and beauty campaigns, and premium brand identities. It can also work for short subheads or event posters where size is large enough to preserve the fine hairlines and crisp serifs.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, projecting an upscale, magazine-ready elegance with a hint of modern sharpness. Its dramatic contrast and glossy rhythm evoke runway, beauty, and high-end branding rather than utilitarian text setting.
The design intent appears focused on delivering a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: wide, assertive shapes paired with delicate detailing to maximize elegance and impact in large-format type.
In the text sample, the heavy verticals create a strong rhythm, while hairline serifs and thin internal strokes add sparkle at larger sizes. Spacing appears tuned for headlines, with compact counters in places and visually prominent joins that reward generous point sizes and careful tracking.
