A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. The design pairs robust main stems with very fine hairlines and crisp, unbracketed serifs, creating a sharp, clean edge at terminals. Proportions feel expansive and headline-oriented, with generous capitals, compact counters in places, and a sturdy overall silhouette that holds up even with delicate connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and taut, and details like the ear and terminals show a slightly calligraphic, sculpted finish rather than geometric neutrality.
Best suited to headlines, large editorial typography, and branding where contrast and refinement are an asset. It works well for magazine covers, luxury/product packaging, posters, and short, high-impact passages such as pull quotes, menus, and event identities.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone with strong editorial drama. Its sharp serifs and striking contrast read as confident and formal, evoking fashion, art-book, and heritage cues while still feeling crisp and contemporary in large sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: dramatic thick–thin structure, sharp hairlines, and an elegant, formal presence optimized for display sizes and attention-grabbing typographic hierarchy.
In text settings, the intense contrast and tight interior spaces create a bold rhythm that favors display use. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and look designed to stand out in titles and pull quotes rather than blend into body copy.
