A high-contrast serif with a strongly vertical, engraved rhythm: thick, weighty stems are paired with extremely thin hairlines and needle-like connections. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, often resolving into triangular or wedge-like terminals that give the outlines a cut, faceted feel. Curves are broad and polished, with tight, pinched joins in places (notably in diagonals and bowls) that create a distinctly sculptural silhouette. Proportions lean wide and open, with generous interior counters and a steady, upright stance across caps and lowercase.
Best suited for headline and display typography—magazine titles, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and high-impact poster work. It can also work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or section openers when ample size and clean reproduction are available.
The overall tone is striking and luxurious, blending classical refinement with a slightly edgy, poster-like bite. Its razor-thin hairlines and pointed terminals read as fashion-forward and theatrical, suited to situations where elegance is meant to feel bold rather than delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver classic, high-fashion contrast with a modern, cut-stone sharpness—maximizing elegance and impact through extreme thick–thin modulation, crisp terminals, and wide, confident letterforms.
The design relies on extreme contrast and fine details, so the look is most convincing at larger sizes where hairlines and the sharp terminals can remain crisp. Numerals and caps share the same chiseled, high-drama construction, keeping headings and mixed-case settings visually consistent.
