A high-contrast serif with strong, vertical main strokes and razor-thin hairlines that create a striking light–dark rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp with little visible bracketing, and many joins resolve into pointed, wedge-like transitions that emphasize crispness. Proportions read on the broader side with generous capitals and sturdy, compact lowercase forms; counters stay fairly open despite the heavy thick strokes. The overall texture is bold and inky, with pronounced stroke modulation that becomes especially evident in curves (O, C, S) and in the numerals’ elegant thin connections.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine layouts, posters, and book covers where the contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for branding and logotypes that need a refined, premium voice, especially when set with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The tone is formal and theatrical, projecting prestige and confidence. Its sharp contrast and refined hairlines evoke luxury and classic print traditions while still feeling assertive and attention-grabbing at display sizes.
Designed to deliver a modern take on classical high-contrast serif principles: bold vertical structure paired with delicate hairlines and sharp, minimally bracketed serifs. The intent appears to be maximum visual impact and elegance in display settings while maintaining recognizable, traditional letterforms.
In text, the thick verticals dominate the page color, while the hairlines and serifs provide sparkle and detail at larger sizes. Curved letters show a clear vertical stress, and several glyphs feature distinctive, pointed entry/exit shapes that add a slightly fashion-forward edge.
