A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, hairline horizontals, and crisp bracketless serifs. The forms are wide and sculpted, with sharp triangular joins and tapered terminals that create a cut-paper, faceted look in places. Counters are generous and round, while curves transition abruptly into thin strokes, producing an assertive rhythm. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy bodies with delicate entry/exit strokes, and figures follow the same high-contrast, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, cover lines, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for upscale packaging and campaign typography, especially with generous tracking and clean layouts.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, suggesting fashion and luxury contexts while retaining a classical, print-rooted authority. Its sharp contrast and refined hairlines add a sense of sophistication and tension that reads as premium and editorial.
This appears designed as a modern, high-contrast serif aimed at delivering an elevated editorial voice—combining classical proportions with sharper, more graphic terminals for contemporary impact.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, giving the type a distinctive sparkle and edge. In dense settings the contrast can dominate the texture, so the face reads most confidently when given space and scale.
