A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and hairline connecting strokes, creating a distinctly vertical, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, reading as wedge-like terminals rather than blunt slabs, and the joins stay crisp even in rounded forms. Proportions run on the condensed side with tall capitals and a relatively even, controlled x-height; counters are compact and the overall color is dark and emphatic. Numerals and punctuation follow the same stark thick–thin logic, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes that feel drawn for display sizes.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and poster typography where high contrast can shine. It can also work for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, authoritative serif presence, especially in larger point sizes.
The tone is formal and theatrical—confident, stylish, and slightly aristocratic. Its strong contrast and compact width give it a headline voice associated with fashion, culture, and classic print publishing, where sharp refinement is part of the message.
The design appears intended as a modern, high-impact interpretation of a conventional serif, emphasizing verticality, sharp finishing, and a compact footprint to deliver elegance with strong typographic punch.
In longer lines, the intense contrast and tight internal spacing create a punchy texture that prioritizes impact over quiet neutrality. The design’s thin horizontals and hairlines are visually delicate compared to the heavy stems, so it reads best when given enough size and breathing room.
