A sharply cut display serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and crisp, knife-like hairlines. Curved letters are built from broad, dark bowls that taper into fine entry/exit strokes, creating a sculpted, almost sliced-in feel. Serifs are minimal and often resolve as pointed wedges or hairline flicks rather than bracketed slabs, while stems stay vertical and clean. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with teardrop-like apertures and distinctive angled terminals; the numerals echo the same contrast with delicate diagonals and fine joining strokes.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, large pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It works especially well in fashion/editorial layouts, luxury packaging, and posters, and is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is elegant and high-impact, balancing refinement with a slightly edgy sharpness. It reads as contemporary luxury—confident, stylish, and attention-seeking—suited to settings where drama and polish are equally important.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on high-contrast elegance, pairing bold silhouette shapes with razor-thin details to create a premium, editorial voice that stands out in display typography.
The design relies on negative space and extreme tapering, so letterforms feel most stable at larger sizes where the hairlines remain visible. The rhythm alternates between heavy black mass and sudden thin cuts, giving headlines a dynamic, editorial cadence.
