A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and razor-thin hairlines. Serifs are fine and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving the letterforms a crisp, cut-paper edge. Capitals are stately and relatively broad, while the lowercase shows compact internal spaces and a sturdy, weighty rhythm; the overall texture is punchy with strong light–dark alternation. Figures follow the same contrast logic, with bold bodies and delicate entry/exit strokes that read best at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine layouts, and fashion or beauty branding where high contrast and sharp detail can be shown at larger sizes. It also works for posters, pull quotes, and premium packaging that benefits from a bold, refined serif voice.
The tone is dramatic and polished, with a distinctly editorial feel. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted shapes suggest luxury and formality, while the heavy verticals add confidence and impact for attention-grabbing typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum contrast and elegance in display typography, combining classic serif structure with assertive weight for modern editorial impact. Its fine hairlines and crisp terminals emphasize sophistication while keeping the overall silhouette strong and legible in large settings.
The design leans on extreme contrast, so thin details become a defining feature in letters like E, F, T, V/W, and in the delicate joins and terminals across the lowercase. Spacing appears tuned for headline settings, producing a dense, authoritative color in text samples.
