A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and a distinctly display-oriented build. Thick, columnar stems are paired with extremely fine hairlines and crisp, minimally bracketed serifs, creating a stark black-and-white rhythm. Counters are compact and often teardrop-like in the lowercase, while curves and joins stay taut and clean rather than calligraphic. Overall proportions feel broad with confident, steady capitals and a lowercase that leans toward sculpted, ball-terminal accents in places, emphasizing a refined, cut-paper precision.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and short, impactful lines where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It fits fashion and lifestyle editorial design, premium branding, and packaging that benefits from a dramatic, high-end serif voice. It can work for subheads and deck copy when given sufficient size and spacing.
The tone is glamorous and assertive, with a couture/editorial feel that reads as premium and formal. Its sharp contrast and elegant hairlines evoke classic print sophistication while still feeling contemporary in its bold, graphic impact.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-fashion display serif with maximal contrast and a crisp, print-editorial presence. Its strong verticals, refined hairlines, and sculpted details aim to create an authoritative, elegant signature for prominent typographic moments.
At larger sizes the hairlines and interior apertures contribute to a striking sparkle; in denser settings they can visually thin out, making the face feel more suited to display than extended reading. The figures shown follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong verticals and delicate connecting strokes, reinforcing the overall dramatic texture.
