A tightly constructed modern serif with towering vertical stems, hairline-thin connecting strokes, and crisp, largely unbracketed serifs. The design leans into strong vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing glossy, high-impact letterforms. Counters tend to be compact and oval, with clean joins and clipped terminals that keep the silhouette taut. Uppercase proportions are expansive and stately, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, upright rhythm with a relatively even x-height and sharply defined details; numerals follow the same high-contrast, refined structure.
Best suited to large-format typography where contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated—magazine and newspaper headlines, fashion/editorial spreads, posters, and high-end brand marks. It can work for short pull quotes or subheads when given adequate size and breathing room, but it is less ideal for long body text in small point sizes.
The font reads as polished and ceremonial, projecting a premium editorial tone associated with fashion, culture magazines, and luxury branding. Its sharp contrast and poised geometry create a sense of drama and authority, while the controlled shapes keep it formal rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic modern serifs: maximizing contrast and verticality to deliver a refined, attention-grabbing display voice. It prioritizes striking silhouettes and an upscale, print-centric feel for prominent typographic moments.
In the text sample, the weight and contrast create strong texture and striking word shapes, but the hairline elements and tight inner spaces become visually delicate at smaller sizes or in dense settings. The most successful results will come from generous sizing and careful spacing, especially around sharp joins and narrow apertures.
