A high-contrast serif with broad, weighty main strokes and extremely thin hairlines, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm across text. Serifs and stroke endings often flare and taper into pointed, blade-like tips, producing a carved, calligraphic feel without an overall slant. Proportions read generously set, with wide capitals, open counters, and a smooth, controlled curve logic that stays consistent from display sizes down into short passages.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and large-scale typography where the thin hairlines can remain clean and the contrast can do its work. It fits magazine and cultural editorial design, luxury branding, beauty and fragrance packaging, posters, and prominent wordmarks. In longer text, it will perform most reliably in larger sizes and with comfortable spacing to preserve the delicate joins and hairlines.
This typeface projects a dramatic, editorial confidence with a distinctly fashion-forward polish. The sharp contrast and sculpted terminals give it a refined, slightly theatrical tone that feels luxurious and assertive rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum contrast-driven impact with a refined, contemporary finish. Its flared terminals and razor-thin details suggest a focus on stylish display typography that still maintains enough structure for short-form reading.
The uppercase shows strong, stately forms with pronounced contrast, while the lowercase introduces sharper, more calligraphic modulation and distinctive, tapered terminals on letters like a, r, s, and y. Numerals match the same high-contrast logic, with several digits featuring elegant, pointed entry/exit strokes that reinforce the overall engraved look.
