A high-contrast serif with thick vertical stems and razor-thin hairlines, giving letters a crisp, carved look. Serifs are small, sharp, and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and frequent wedge-like finishing strokes. The rhythm is built on strong vertical stress and generous internal counters, while many joins and curves taper aggressively into fine points. Uppercase forms feel stately and formal, and the lowercase shows a mix of compact bowls with energetic terminals that add snap and texture in text.
Best used for headlines, magazine mastheads, fashion/editorial layouts, and premium branding where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes. It can also work for short pull quotes and packaging statements where a luxe, dramatic voice is desired, while long passages and small sizes may require careful sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is dramatic and fashion-forward, balancing elegance with a slightly edgy sharpness. Its pronounced contrast and needle-like details create a sense of luxury and spectacle, making it feel suited to statement typography rather than quiet utility.
This design appears intended as a modern high-contrast display serif that amplifies elegance through extreme stroke modulation and crisp, unbracketed finishing. The emphasis is on impact, refinement, and distinctive silhouettes that read as premium and editorial.
In continuous setting, the intense contrast produces a vivid black-and-white shimmer, especially where fine hairlines meet heavy stems. Several characters feature distinctive pointed terminals and hooked or beaked details (notably in letters like Q, y, and some numerals), which adds personality and a slightly calligraphic flair. The figures appear designed to match the display emphasis, with bold shapes and sharp tapering rather than neutral text numerals.
