A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, sculpted main strokes. Serifs are sharp and tapered, often reading as wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, giving the letterforms a clean, cut-from-metal precision. Curves are smooth and generously drawn (notably in O/Q and the bowls), while joins and apexes stay pointed and elegant, creating a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm despite an overall upright stance. Lowercase forms feel relatively compact with clear, open counters, and the numerals and capitals share the same dramatic thick–thin modulation for a consistent, polished color in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers and spreads, fashion or beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work where its contrast and razor-thin details can shine. It can work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when set at a comfortable size with adequate leading, but it is most compelling as a display serif.
The overall tone is elegant and high-end, with a fashionable, editorial confidence. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details suggest sophistication and a sense of ceremony, making it feel premium and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary interpretation of classic high-contrast serif forms, prioritizing elegance, sharpness, and visual drama. Its consistent modulation and refined terminals aim for a premium, editorial look that stands out in brand and headline settings.
The font’s visual energy comes from the interplay of delicate hairlines with strong verticals and carefully sharpened terminals. In longer sample text it maintains clarity, but the fine details and tight hairlines make it read most comfortably when given enough size and breathing room.
