A high-contrast serif with commanding, poster-like proportions and sharp hairline detailing. Stems are heavy and vertical while joins and serifs taper quickly to fine points, creating a crisp rhythm and strong black–white patterning in text. The capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, while the lowercase mixes round, weighty bowls with delicate entry/exit strokes and teardrop/ball-like terminals on select forms. Numerals follow the same logic, combining thick main strokes with thin connecting hairlines for a refined, assertive texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where the high contrast and sharp serifs can read cleanly. It also fits editorial branding, magazine mastheads, and upscale packaging or label design that benefits from a polished, classic tone. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at moderate-to-large sizes where the hairline details remain clear.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, balancing classic bookish cues with a fashion-forward punch. Its strong contrast and crisp finishing convey formality and prestige, with enough personality in the terminals to feel lively rather than purely austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serif forms: authoritative in structure, but with refined, fashion-oriented sparkle from hairline serifs and expressive terminals.
In continuous text the font produces a pronounced vertical cadence from its heavy stems and thin links; spacing and counters appear intentionally open to keep the dense weight readable. Pointed serifs and fine horizontals become prominent stylistic features at display sizes, where the sharpness and contrast read as deliberate refinement.
