A high-contrast serif with a crisp, chiseled profile and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and pointed with subtle bracketing, and many strokes terminate in sharp, tapered ends that accentuate the calligraphic influence. Uppercase forms feel tall and stately with generous internal space, while lowercase shapes maintain a restrained, bookish rhythm with clean joins and teardrop-like finishing on some terminals. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and thin entry/exit strokes that keep the numerals airy and refined.
This font is well suited to magazine typography, headlines, and pull quotes where contrast and sharp finishing can shine. It also fits luxury branding, packaging, and book-cover titling, especially in contexts that benefit from a classic-yet-fashionable serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and luxurious, with a distinctly editorial, high-fashion sensibility. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing convey sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making text feel curated rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and editorial authority while keeping proportions and spacing controlled for composed text settings at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display sizes, where the hairlines and pointed serifs read as intentional details rather than fragility. The rhythm is smooth and controlled, with an emphasis on verticality and clean spacing that supports long lines while still projecting a premium, headline-forward character.
