A high-contrast serif with tall, upright proportions and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Stems are heavy and geometric while hairlines are extremely fine, especially in crossbars and connecting strokes, producing a crisp, etched texture. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many joins and terminals resolve into pointed or wedge-like forms. Counters tend toward squarish, constructed shapes (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of b/p/q), giving the design an engineered, display-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and short bursts of text where the dramatic contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It works well for branding, packaging, and editorial display settings that want a formal, crafted voice. At very small sizes or on low-resolution output, the finest hairlines may require careful handling to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and ceremonial, with a dramatic sparkle from the hairlines against dense verticals. Its constructed geometry and sharp terminals feel authoritative and slightly futuristic, evoking engraved titling and high-end editorial typography rather than casual text setting.
The design appears intended as a statement serif: combining classical contrast with a more constructed, geometric drawing to create a striking display texture. It prioritizes crisp silhouette and typographic drama over neutral body-text transparency.
Letterforms show a deliberately stylized construction: angular diagonals on V/W/X, a compact, structured S, and a distinctive, squared treatment across rounded characters. Numerals follow the same sharp, high-contrast logic, reading as bold stems accented by precise hairline details.
