A sharply contrasted serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm, combining dense, ink-trap-free stems with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a clean, cut-metal feel rather than a calligraphic softness. Proportions are tall and condensed, with tight sidebearings and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that makes curves read as taut and polished. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and formal, while the lowercase maintains a controlled, upright texture with small details—like the ear and spur shapes—rendered as thin, precise strokes.
This typeface excels in headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and other display typography where its contrast and narrow build can create dramatic emphasis. It’s well suited to luxury branding, fashion and beauty packaging, and refined event materials that benefit from a high-end, curated voice.
The overall tone is glamorous and high-fashion, projecting refinement, luxury, and a cool, modern formality. Its dramatic contrast and narrow stance create a poised, editorial voice that feels at home in premium branding and cultural contexts.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif traditions, prioritizing elegance, verticality, and visual drama. Its narrow proportions and razor-thin hairlines suggest a focus on display impact and sophisticated brand expression over utilitarian body text.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp joins provide striking sparkle and strong hierarchy, especially in caps and numerals. In extended text settings, the delicate horizontals and tight proportions can create a brittle texture if spacing and size aren’t handled carefully.
