A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel rather than a soft, calligraphic one. Capitals are strong and stately with wide proportions and ample interior space; rounds (C, O, Q) show razor-thin joins against heavy verticals. Lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with compact joins and tight, glossy counters, while numerals follow the same contrast logic—thin horizontal strokes and delicate curves paired with heavy uprights.
Best suited to large sizes where contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, fashion and beauty branding, and high-impact posters. It can work for short blocks of text in controlled print or high-resolution digital settings, but it is most convincing as a display face rather than a workhorse for long reading.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone with a sense of ceremony and authority. Its stark contrast and needle-like details create a dramatic rhythm that feels luxurious and attention-grabbing, leaning more toward refined spectacle than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs: commanding verticals, pristine hairlines, and sharp serifs that prioritize elegance and visual drama. It aims to provide a premium, editorial voice with strong headline presence and refined typographic color.
Spacing appears generous enough for display, but the finest hairlines and serifs are visually delicate and can sparkle or disappear at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output. The ampersand and the more flamboyant curves (notably in Q and g) add a slightly theatrical, headline-forward personality without leaving the classic serif tradition.
