A high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stress and a distinctly sculpted, cut-metal look. Thick stems and bowls are paired with very fine hairlines and delicate cross-strokes, creating a crisp rhythm and pronounced light–dark pattern. Serifs are sharp and tapered with minimal bracketing, and many terminals end in pointed, wedge-like finishes. Proportions are on the broad side with generous set-width and sturdy caps; curves are smooth and round yet tightened by thin connecting strokes, giving letters a chiseled, editorial presence. Numerals follow the same contrast and shaping, with compact counters and elegant, thin joins.
Best suited to display typography such as magazine headlines, feature decks, poster titles, and luxury packaging where strong contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for book-cover titling and pull quotes, especially in spacious layouts that allow its wide proportions and delicate hairlines to remain clear.
The tone is confident and high-end, with a theatrical contrast that reads as fashion-forward and editorial. It conveys a sense of tradition and authority while keeping a sharp, contemporary edge through its crisp serifs and dramatic thick–thin transitions.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with amplified drama for contemporary editorial use. Its wide proportions and razor-like serifs suggest a focus on impactful, stylish typography rather than understated long-form reading.
At text sizes, the fine hairlines and crossbars become key defining features, so clean reproduction and sufficient size help preserve detail. The wide footprint and strong vertical emphasis make it particularly impactful in short lines and display settings where the contrast can shine.
