A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing thick main stems with extremely fine connecting strokes. Serifs are narrow and crisp with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a clean, cut finish rather than a heavy, slabby feel. Proportions read slightly condensed in many capitals, with confident, sculpted curves (notably in C, G, S) and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and a modest x-height, while italics are not present in the samples; overall rhythm is upright, steady, and editorial in texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and premium branding where contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, especially when set with comfortable spacing and printed or rendered at sufficient size.
The overall tone is sophisticated and polished, with a fashion-and-publishing kind of drama driven by the stark contrast. It feels classic and authoritative rather than friendly, projecting a premium, curated voice suitable for formal messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic, high-contrast serif typography—emphasizing elegance, crisp finishing, and a strong editorial presence. Its proportions and sharp details suggest a focus on impactful display and polished publishing applications.
Large sizes show striking elegance in the hairlines and serifs, while smaller sizes may appear more delicate due to the thin cross-strokes. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced ball-like terminals and the 4 built with a strong, angular silhouette.
