A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharp, hairline terminals. The serifs are fine and crisp with a lightly bracketed feel in places, while the main stems stay bold and vertical, creating a clear, upright rhythm. Uppercase forms are broad and stately, with round letters showing tight, elegant hairlines and a pronounced stress. Lowercase features compact, sturdy shapes with pronounced verticals and small, precise details in joins and beaks, maintaining a refined texture in display sizes.
This font is well suited to magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, and poster typography where contrast and elegance are desirable. It also fits title treatments, pull quotes, and packaging where a refined, classical serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with an editorial sophistication that reads as premium and traditional. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details give it a fashionable, high-end character suited to headline-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif for display-led typography, balancing traditional proportions with crisp, fashion-oriented detailing. The goal seems to be strong visual impact and a sense of refinement without resorting to ornament.
The design’s contrast and delicate serifs create striking word shapes at larger sizes, while the narrow hairlines and sharp joins suggest it will be most comfortable where reproduction is clean and generous. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinct shapes that feel tailored to display settings.
