A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, knife-like hairlines. The letterforms feel broad and weighty, with tall verticals, vertical stress, and delicately pointed wedge serifs that read as sharp terminals rather than soft brackets. Curves are taut and geometric, counters are compact, and several joins resolve into angular, chiseled notches that emphasize the contrast. In text, the rhythm is assertive and slightly staccato, with strong vertical emphasis and a polished, print-forward finish.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, titles, and brand marks where its sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact packaging or campaign copy, especially when paired with a calmer text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is glamorous and emphatic—more runway and magazine than everyday bookwork. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast convey confidence, prestige, and a slightly theatrical flair, making even short phrases feel headline-like.
The font appears designed to deliver a modern high-fashion interpretation of classic high-contrast serif principles—maximizing drama, crispness, and silhouette for attention-grabbing display settings.
The design’s extreme contrast and fine hairlines create striking silhouettes at display sizes, while the dark, wide capitals give a poster-like impact. Some characters show intentionally stylized tapering and pointed terminals that add personality and a couture-like edge.
