A high-contrast, display-leaning serif with razor-thin hairlines and dense, inky main strokes. The design favors crisp joins and tapered terminals, with a mix of smooth, rounded bowls and sharply cut diagonals. Proportions are relatively wide and open, with generous internal counters in letters like O, Q, and e, while strokes snap to fine points in V/W/X and the angled parts of K/Y. Uppercase forms feel stately and structured; lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable skeleton with compact, well-contained shapes and clear punctuation-like dots on i and j. Numerals echo the same contrast and sculpted detailing, particularly in the curved figures.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It works especially well in magazine-style layouts, luxury packaging, and event or poster typography that benefits from a refined, high-impact voice.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical—suited to statements that want elegance with edge. Its stark light–dark rhythm reads as premium and editorial, evoking fashion, culture, and high-end branding rather than utilitarian text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, fashion-forward interpretation of high-contrast letterforms: bold vertical presence paired with hairline precision for a striking, upscale look in display applications.
The typeface relies on delicate hairlines that create sparkle at larger sizes and in high-resolution output, while the heavier strokes maintain strong presence. Diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) introduce a distinctive, blade-like sharpness that stands out in headlines.
