A high-contrast serif with crisp, vertical stems and extremely fine hairlines that create a sharp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are thin and precise with minimal bracketing, giving terminals a clean, carved look. Proportions lean classical: uppercase forms are stately and evenly spaced, while lowercase shows a moderate x-height with compact bowls and narrow joins that keep counters tight. Overall detailing feels controlled and polished, with a distinctly vertical stress and a pronounced difference between thick main strokes and whisper-thin cross strokes.
Best suited to display typography where contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion and luxury branding, book covers, and prominent pull quotes. It can also work for short-form editorial text at comfortable sizes where crisp rendering preserves the hairlines and serifs.
The tone is poised and upscale, with a dramatic contrast that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. Its refined sharpness suggests formality and authority, conveying a sense of tradition presented in a contemporary, high-end way.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and precision, optimizing for sophisticated display impact and an elevated editorial presence rather than utilitarian, low-resolution text settings.
In the text sample, the hairlines and fine serifs become a key part of the texture, producing a bright, sparkling page color at display sizes. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, pairing strong verticals with delicate curves and thin cross details for a coherent, elegant set.
