A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems, razor-thin hairlines, and crisp, wedge-like serifs. The forms are wide and boldly modeled, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a carved, poster-like presence. Curves show a clear vertical stress, and many terminals taper to fine points, giving counters and joins a sculpted, cut-paper feel. Overall spacing feels tight and compact in text samples, producing dense, dark lines with a rhythmic alternation of heavy stems and fine connecting strokes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its contrast and sharp serif details can remain visible—magazine covers, fashion or culture headlines, brand marks, premium packaging, and theatrical posters. It can work for short, emphatic subheads or pull quotes, but extended body text will appear dense and visually assertive.
The typeface projects an editorial, high-fashion tone—confident, refined, and intentionally dramatic. Its sharp detailing and extreme contrast add a sense of ceremony and intensity, reading as luxe and attention-grabbing rather than casual or utilitarian.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact through extreme contrast and crisp, stylized serifs, balancing classical high-contrast cues with a contemporary, cut-and-sculpted finish. The overall intention reads as a modern display serif built for striking editorial statements and brand-forward typography.
The design leans on bold silhouettes with delicate internal connections, so small sizes may lose nuance where hairlines and tight joins compete with the surrounding black mass. Numerals echo the same contrast and sculpted tapering, reinforcing the display-first character across letters and figures.
