A crisp serif with emphatic verticals and razor-thin hairlines, creating a strongly contrasted, engraved-like texture. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered with minimal bracketing, and terminals tend to be clean and deliberate rather than soft. Proportions run generously wide with a prominent presence in capitals; the lowercase keeps a conventional, readable skeleton with a moderate x-height while retaining the same stark thick–thin rhythm. Curves (C, G, O, S) show vertical stress and tight, polished joins, and numerals carry the same bold main strokes with delicate finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, and other editorial display roles where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications—such as fashion, beauty, and cultural institutions—where a refined, authoritative voice is desired. For long passages, it will perform most comfortably when sized and spaced to preserve the visibility of its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is formal and high-end, with a dramatic, fashion-editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and wide stance read confident and authoritative, evoking traditional print luxury with a contemporary crispness.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast serif voice with strong impact and a polished, print-inspired finish. Its wide proportions and crisp detailing prioritize presence and elegance in display typography while keeping familiar letterforms for straightforward reading.
At text sizes the hairlines can visually recede, while at larger sizes the fine serifs and tapered strokes become a key stylistic feature. The wide set and strong vertical rhythm create a stately, poster-like color, especially in all-caps settings.
