A high-contrast serif with hairline horizontals and robust vertical stems, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm. Serifs are finely tapered and sharply finished, with a predominantly vertical stress and a smooth, polished curve construction in round letters. Proportions feel slightly condensed in the capitals while the lowercase keeps a balanced, readable build; counters are open and punctuation-like details (dots, terminals) are clean and precise. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with graceful curves and thin connecting strokes that emphasize an overall delicate, engraved-like texture.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium packaging, and elegant brand identities. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated without becoming too delicate.
The overall tone is poised and luxurious, leaning toward an editorial and fashion aesthetic. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing convey formality and sophistication, with a confident, display-minded presence even in running text.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, polished interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing elegance and visual drama. It balances traditional serif cues with a clean, contemporary sharpness for premium editorial and branding contexts.
In the text sample, the thin strokes create a sparkling texture at larger sizes, while the strong verticals keep lines feeling structured and crisp. Some letters show intentionally stylized terminals and asymmetric touches that add personality without breaking the classic serif voice.
