A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Hairline, sharply tapered serifs and razor-thin connecting strokes create a crisp, engraved look, while thick stems stay smooth and confident. Curves are taut and sculpted, with pointed joins and occasional ball terminals that add sparkle to counters and apertures. Spacing feels display-leaning: wide, elegant capitals paired with a comparatively compact lowercase rhythm that maintains clear, upright structure.
Best suited for display sizes where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine titles, section headers, pull quotes, luxury branding, and premium packaging. It can work for short passages in large sizes, but its finest strokes suggest avoiding very small text or low-resolution environments where hairlines may weaken.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking fashion mastheads, luxury packaging, and polished editorial typography. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted curves read as high-end and deliberate, with a slightly theatrical edge that suits statement-making headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance, crispness, and visual drama for editorial and brand-forward applications.
The design shows notable stress in rounded forms (O, C, G) and a consistently clean, modernized serif treatment rather than soft bracketed transitions. Numerals follow the same contrast logic with crisp horizontals and thin joins, helping them sit comfortably in headline settings alongside capitals.
