A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical axis, combining thick, sculpted main strokes with extremely fine hairlines. Serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with crisp terminals and a distinctly engraved feel. Proportions are expansive and headline-oriented: capitals read broad and stable, rounds (C, O, Q) feel generous, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are bold with needle-like connecting strokes. Lowercase forms show sturdy bowls and compact apertures, with a single-storey a and g and pronounced teardrop/ball terminals on several letters; numerals are similarly punchy, with strong thick–thin rhythm and tightly cut counters.
This design is best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short blocks of copy where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and lifestyle editorial, premium branding, packaging, and event or cultural posters—anywhere a refined but forceful serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and polished—an attention-grabbing, high-fashion voice that still feels rooted in traditional book and poster typography. The extreme contrast and razor serifs add drama and prestige, while the wide stance gives it a confident, poster-ready presence.
The font appears designed to deliver a modernized Didone-style impact: maximum contrast, crisp unbracketed serifs, and wide, confident proportions for display typography. Its construction prioritizes dramatic thick–thin rhythm and a luxurious, editorial finish for branding and large-scale typesetting.
In text settings the hairlines and joins create a shimmering texture, especially around diagonals and curved joins, which emphasizes impact over neutrality. Spacing appears tuned for display use, with dense black shapes and bright interior counters creating a bold, high-ink silhouette.
