A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical stress and crisp, sculpted letterforms. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, pairing thick main strokes with hairline connections that create a striking light–dark rhythm. Counters are compact and the curves are tightly drawn, with frequent teardrop/ball terminals in the lowercase that add a calligraphic bite. Uppercase proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed, while the lowercase mixes broad bowls with narrow joins, producing an energetic, uneven texture typical of display-oriented modern serifs.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and sharp serif details can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when used at moderate-to-large sizes, and for short editorial passages where a dramatic, high-fashion texture is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and upscale, combining classic serif tradition with a fashion-forward, editorial edge. Its dramatic contrast and pointed details read as confident and slightly theatrical, lending a premium, boutique feel to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: elegant and authoritative, but with sharpened terminals and compact counters that emphasize impact. It prioritizes strong typographic personality and visual presence over neutrality, making it a natural choice for display-led typography.
In text settings the dense color and hairline links create a vivid sparkle, especially around letters like a, e, s, and g where terminals and apertures become distinctive. Numerals show the same high-contrast treatment and angular finishing, visually aligning well with all-caps titling.
