A heavy, high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and needle-fine hairlines that snap into thick main strokes. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, with crisp, sculpted terminals that give the outlines a cut, engraved feel. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a relatively even, medium x-height, while the capitals are broad and commanding with strong thick–thin modulation. Overall spacing reads deliberate and slightly tight in text, reinforcing the dense, poster-ready color.
Best suited to large-size settings such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, posters, and brand wordmarks where the extreme thick–thin contrast can read clearly. It can also work for premium packaging and event materials when paired with generous leading and careful tracking to preserve its hairlines.
The tone is dramatic and polished, leaning toward fashion and magazine typography where contrast and refinement signal prestige. Its bold presence feels ceremonial and confident, with a crisp, slightly theatrical rhythm that suits statements more than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, editorial take on high-contrast serif typography: maximizing impact through weight and width while retaining delicate hairlines and precise serifs for a luxurious finish.
The figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with bold verticals and hairline joins that create a distinctly elegant, display-oriented texture. Round letters show a strong stress axis and sharp internal transitions, contributing to a refined but attention-seeking silhouette.
