A high-contrast display serif with a strongly vertical construction and crisp, hairline serifs. Thick main strokes pair with very thin joins and terminals, creating a bold, sculpted rhythm and pronounced black–white patterning. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable with flat-topped serifs and occasional wedge-like finishing, while lowercase includes distinct, stylized details such as ball terminals and a looping descender on the g; the j also shows a curved, decorative tail. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with the 2/3/5 showing sharp, calligraphic cuts and the 4 built from thin strokes that read lighter than the rest.
Well-suited to headlines, mastheads, and large-scale editorial typography where contrast and silhouette are meant to be seen. It can support branding and packaging that aims for a classic-luxury impression, and works especially well for short phrases, pull quotes, and display lines rather than dense, small text.
The overall tone is dramatic and premium, with a fashion/editorial polish and a slightly theatrical flair from the ornamental lowercase details. Its strong contrast and crisp edges give it an assertive, high-end voice that reads as formal and attention-grabbing rather than understated.
The design appears intended as a statement serif that amplifies contrast and elegance for display use, balancing traditional serif structure with a few distinctive, characterful lowercase gestures to make text feel more bespoke and memorable.
Spacing appears generous and the letterforms hold up best at larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and delicate serifs remain clear. The mixture of severe, straight-sided capitals with more expressive lowercase terminals creates a lively texture in mixed-case setting.
