A display-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. The letterforms pair crisp hairline connectors with broad, weighty main strokes, creating sharp transitions in bowls and shoulders. Serifs are present but restrained and refined, often reading as small wedges or bracketed slabs rather than long, sweeping feet. Curves are sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with teardrop-like joins in places (notably in the lowercase), and the overall rhythm alternates between dense, black verticals and delicate hairlines. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant, open counters and thin linking strokes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and other large-size settings where the high-contrast detailing stays clear and intentional. It can add a premium, editorial voice to brand marks, packaging, invitations, and campaign posters, especially where dramatic typography is desired.
The font projects an editorial, high-fashion tone: poised, authoritative, and a bit theatrical. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing evoke luxury branding and classic print typography, while the tight, sharp hairlines add a sense of precision and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, print-classic voice with strong visual drama—combining a traditional high-contrast serif structure with crisp, modern sharpness for contemporary editorial and branding use.
Uppercase forms feel stately and monument-like, while the lowercase introduces more movement through deeper curves and more visibly calligraphic joins. The overall texture in paragraphs is high-impact, with bright white apertures and noticeable stroke contrast that becomes a defining visual feature at larger sizes.
