A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing tall, sturdy stems with delicate connecting strokes. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with a crisp, engraved feel rather than heavy bracketing. Proportions are elegant and slightly condensed in places, with generous ascender height and relatively compact lowercase shapes, producing a tight, polished rhythm. The numerals and capitals appear sculpted and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open counters and clean joins.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book or album covers, and upscale brand identities where the high contrast can shine. It can also work for short editorial subheads and large-format typography, especially in clean layouts that allow its fine hairlines to remain visible.
The overall tone is formal and refined, evoking editorial typography and luxury branding. Its dramatic contrast and precise detailing convey sophistication and authority, with a distinctly contemporary “fashion” sharpness layered onto classical serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and editorial, prioritizing elegance and impact in larger text over plain, everyday neutrality.
In text settings the extreme contrast creates a pronounced light–dark texture and emphasizes vertical strokes, giving headlines a crisp sparkle. The design rewards larger sizes where hairlines and terminals can remain distinct, and it reads as intentionally high-style rather than purely utilitarian.
