A decorative serif with a strongly vertical construction and extreme stroke modulation: thick, pillar-like stems are paired with hairline joins and delicate, sharp serifs. The letterforms feel tall and condensed, with crisp edges and an overall sculpted, poster-oriented rhythm. Curves are tightly drawn and high-waisted, producing narrow counters and pointed interior shapes (notably in C, S, and the bowls of B/R). Lowercase forms keep a traditional serif skeleton but lean into display detailing—small, precise serifs, thin connectors, and compact bowls—while figures show the same stark thick–thin contrast and ornamental tension.
Best suited to display applications such as magazine headlines, fashion and arts posters, branding wordmarks, and premium packaging where high contrast can be shown at larger sizes. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes when given ample size, tracking, and clean reproduction.
The font conveys a sense of high drama and refinement, evoking fashion and cultural editorial typography where contrast and elegance are the main message. Its sharp hairlines and compressed proportions give it a theatrical, attention-commanding tone that feels classic yet stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver a striking, high-contrast serif voice with a condensed, billboard-ready presence—prioritizing elegance and visual impact over neutral readability. Its ornamental hairlines and sharpened serifs suggest a deliberate nod to classic modern serif display traditions, tuned for contemporary editorial use.
At text sizes the hairline strokes and joins read as intentionally delicate, creating a shimmering texture in longer lines and making spacing and background contrast especially important. The uppercase feels particularly monumental and headline-driven, while the lowercase retains enough tradition to support short phrases and subheads when set generously.
