A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and razor-thin hairlines paired with weighty stems. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, reading as mostly unbracketed and precise, with clean terminals and a polished, print-like finish. Proportions skew wide with generous capitals and open counters; the letterforms show pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in rounds and diagonals, creating a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same display-minded contrast, with bold main strokes and delicate connecting hairlines.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, luxury branding, and high-impact posters where contrast and elegance are central. It can also work for short blocks of text in print-oriented contexts, particularly at comfortable sizes where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining refinement with theatrical contrast. It feels fashion-forward and prestige-oriented, lending a sense of ceremony and polish to headings while maintaining a classic, bookish voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic high-contrast, vertical-stress serif voice with a distinctly display-leaning presence—prioritizing elegance, sharp detail, and a wide, confident silhouette for premium typography.
In the sample text, the contrast creates a lively sparkle at larger sizes, while the very fine hairlines and sharp joins suggest best performance where reproduction is crisp and not overly coarse. Spacing appears measured and airy, reinforcing the wide, composed feel.
