A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical emphasis and very fine hairline serifs. Stems are robust while horizontals, joins, and serifs taper to razor-thin terminals, creating a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Uppercase forms feel tall and composed with generous counters; the curves in C, G, O, and Q show a clear vertical stress, and the Q has a pronounced, sweeping tail. Lowercase is relatively compact with crisp, bracketless-looking serifs and clean, controlled apertures; the two-storey a and g are traditional and tightly drawn, while the f has a long, delicate crossbar. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with standout sculptural shapes, including a curled 2 and a ball-terminal 3.
Best suited to display and large text settings such as magazine headlines, book or film titles, fashion/beauty branding, and formal invitations where contrast and crisp serifs can be showcased. In longer passages it can work for editorial typography when set at sizes and production conditions that preserve the hairline strokes.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, leaning toward luxury and high-end editorial styling. Its extreme stroke modulation and hairline detailing convey sophistication and formality, with a slightly theatrical sparkle at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif construction: strong verticals, elegant hairlines, and crisp terminals that read as premium and editorial. It prioritizes visual drama and refinement over utilitarian neutrality, aiming to make headings and short text feel polished and prestigious.
Spacing and proportions read as carefully balanced in text, with prominent thick–thin transitions that become a defining texture across lines. The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines stay clear and the sharp serif details can be appreciated.
