A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and finely tapered hairlines set against heavy main stems. Serifs are sharp and relatively unbracketed, giving corners a crisp, carved look. Rounds (C, O, Q, 0) show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic, vertical-stress rhythm, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain clean and assertive. The lowercase keeps a conventional, readable structure (two-storey a, single-storey g) with sturdy stems and delicate entry/exit strokes, producing a bold, polished texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice with strong visual impact.
The overall tone feels formal and premium, with a dramatic, high-fashion contrast that reads as confident and authoritative. Its crisp hairlines and sharp terminals add a slightly theatrical edge, suited to refined but attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern high-contrast serif look with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, minimally bracketed serifs—aimed at creating an elegant, attention-forward typographic presence in editorial and brand-driven applications.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tight internal counters create a striking black–white sparkle, especially in combinations like "Qu", "ck", and around the dots and punctuation. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with sculpted curves and slender joins that reinforce an editorial, poster-ready personality.
