A sharply contrasted serif with tall, sculpted proportions and a crisp, vertical rhythm. Thick stems are paired with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like serifs, producing strong light–dark patterning across words. Curves are clean and taut, with narrow joins and small apertures in places, while terminals often finish in pointed or tapered wedges. The overall texture is polished and high-definition, with careful balance between rigid verticals and controlled, high-contrast rounds.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, fashion editorials, brand marks, and premium packaging where high contrast can be shown clearly. It also works well for posters and pull quotes that benefit from dramatic stroke modulation. For extended text, it will be most comfortable when sized generously with adequate spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font reads as sophisticated and dramatic, with a distinctly couture/editorial tone. Its stark contrast and razor serifs lend a premium, formal feel that suggests luxury branding and high-end print culture. The mood is confident and theatrical rather than casual or warm.
The design appears aimed at delivering a modern, high-fashion serif voice built around extreme contrast and precise detailing. Its structure prioritizes impact, elegance, and a glossy, print-centric finish, making it a strong choice for expressive, brand-led typography.
In the samples, the extreme hairlines and sharp serifs become more prominent at larger sizes, where the detailing feels intentional and crisp. The numeral set matches the same high-contrast logic, and the caps present a stately, display-forward presence that dominates the line when set in headline sizes.
