A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, needle-thin hairlines. The serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, and the heavy strokes are smooth and rounded where needed, creating a glossy, sculpted rhythm. Proportions feel classical with a relatively contained x-height and clear differentiation between thick stems and delicate cross-strokes; curves are taut and well-controlled, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) read angular and assertive. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast, with round forms (0/8/9) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and high-end branding where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also work for short subheads and titling in print or high-resolution digital settings that preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is upscale and poised, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its dramatic contrast and clean, fashion-forward finish convey luxury, formality, and a sense of modern classicism rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice—prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and a striking typographic rhythm for attention-grabbing display use.
In the text sample, large sizes emphasize the striking thick–thin cadence and the crispness of the serifs. At tighter spacing or smaller sizes, the hairlines and thin joins may visually recede compared to the bold main strokes, so it benefits from generous size and comfortable leading.
