A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis, thick main stems, and notably fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and delicate, often appearing as thin, flat hairline attachments with minimal bracketing, giving the letterforms a clean, cut-in feel. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in impression, while lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls and straight-sided construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same razor-thin secondary strokes, producing a refined but assertive texture at text sizes.
This style performs best in display contexts such as magazine headlines, editorial pull quotes, book covers, posters, and upscale branding where high contrast can be showcased. It can also work for short blocks of text when generous sizing and spacing preserve the fine hairlines and the crisp serif detail.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with a fashion/editorial sharpness driven by the extreme contrast and needle-like details. It feels formal and composed, yet visually dramatic—well suited to typography that wants to look authoritative and polished rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern-classic, high-contrast serif voice: elegant hairlines paired with sturdy verticals for a premium, editorial look. Its proportions and sharp detailing suggest a focus on impactful typography for titles and statements, with clarity coming from disciplined structure and consistent contrast rather than softness or ornament.
The rhythm is dominated by dark verticals and bright counters, creating a crisp page color that becomes especially bold in words with many stems. Thin horizontals and connecting strokes (as seen in letters like E, F, T and in numerals) contribute to a sleek, elegant sparkle, while the overall construction stays upright and disciplined.
