A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, combining weighty main strokes with sharp hairline joins and fine, pointed serifs. The design feels crisp and sculpted: curves are smooth and full, while terminals often taper to needle-like ends or finish in small ball terminals. Uppercase forms are wide and commanding with a steady, upright stance; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height but reads bold due to the thickened stems and compact counters. Spacing and rhythm are robust and headline-oriented, with pronounced thick–thin flicker and a distinctly “engraved” clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, posters, and high-impact branding where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium packaging and title treatments, but its intense contrast and dark color make it less ideal for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and upscale, with a dramatic, editorial presence that suggests prestige and formality. Its bright hairlines and sharp serifs add a refined, fashion-forward edge, while the heavy core strokes keep it confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on a classic high-contrast serif: authoritative silhouettes, refined hairlines, and distinctive terminals that read as luxurious and editorial while staying structurally traditional.
Several glyphs show expressive finishing details—especially in the lowercase, where ear- and tail-like strokes and rounded terminals add character without breaking the classic structure. Numerals are similarly contrasted and sturdy, matching the bold vertical rhythm of the letters.
