A high-contrast serif with compact, razor-thin hairlines and dominant vertical stems that create a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are small, sharp, and largely unbracketed, with pointed terminals and occasional beak-like details that add bite to the silhouettes. The proportions are expansive and headline-oriented, with generous width and strong internal curves; counters stay open despite the heavy thick–thin modulation. Lowercase shows a sturdy, traditional structure with a prominent two-storey a, compact joins, and a refined, narrow-shouldered rhythm that keeps lines looking tidy even at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and other large-scale editorial applications where contrast and width can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, high-impact serif presence.
The tone is elegant and commanding, mixing classic print sophistication with a slightly theatrical edge. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing convey polish, prestige, and a fashion/editorial attitude rather than an everyday, utilitarian voice.
Likely intended as a statement serif for display typography, balancing classical letterforms with intensified contrast and crisp detailing to deliver maximum elegance and authority in prominent settings.
The design emphasizes verticality and clean stress, producing strong word shapes and striking sparkle in text. Numerals and capitals feel especially poster-ready, while the punctuation and curves maintain a consistent, chiseled sharpness that reads as deliberate and formal.
