A striking modern serif with extremely thin hairlines contrasted against dense vertical stems and wedge-like, triangular serifs. The design emphasizes narrow proportions and tall, columnar capitals, while bowls and joins taper into needle-thin connections that create a sculpted, cut-paper effect. Terminals are often sharp or beaked, and several letters show pinched apertures and tight interior counters, producing a crisp, high-tension rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same razor–to–block contrast, with delicate curves and occasional teardrop-like endings.
Best suited to large-size typography such as magazine headlines, mastheads, luxury branding, and poster titles where the extreme contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging display lines, but is less appropriate for long text or small UI sizes due to the fragile hairlines.
The overall tone is luxurious and dramatic, with a fashion-forward, display-first presence. Its sharp refinement and theatrical contrast suggest prestige and intensity rather than warmth or neutrality, lending a couture, gallery-like mood to headlines.
This font appears designed as a high-impact display serif that amplifies contrast and sharp detailing to create a refined, attention-grabbing voice. The narrow, tall proportions and sculpted terminals suggest an intention to evoke contemporary elegance while still feeling decorative and distinctive.
The thicks appear concentrated on verticals, with hairlines that can become nearly invisible at small sizes, and the forms rely on precise spacing to keep the light strokes from collapsing. The narrow set and towering capitals create a strong vertical cadence, while the pointed serifs and pinched joins add an intentionally edgy, ornamental finish.
