A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, creating a sharp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are crisp and tapered with a modern, cut-from-metal feel, and curves are clean with elegant stress. The capitals are stately and wide-set, while the lowercase shows a controlled, bookish texture with a double-story “a” and compact joins that keep the page color even despite the contrast.
It performs especially well in display and editorial settings where contrast and refinement are assets: magazine headlines, culture and lifestyle layouts, book covers, and brand systems for premium goods. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and short-to-medium text in print or high-resolution digital contexts where fine hairlines will hold up.
This typeface projects an editorial, fashion-forward tone with a sense of refinement and authority. Its crisp contrast and poised stance feel formal and composed, lending a quietly dramatic, premium character without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a polished, contemporary take on classic serif forms, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast and precise, tapered finishing. It aims to read as upscale and confident, suitable for typography that needs to feel curated and intentional.
The overall spacing and proportions suggest a balanced text rhythm, while the pronounced contrast and delicate hairlines give it a distinctly high-end presence. Numerals share the same sharp contrast and formal posture, supporting polished typographic systems.
