A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and striking thick–thin modulation. The heavy main strokes are paired with very fine hairlines and delicate, straight serifs, producing a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Proportions skew wide with generous set width and a steady, upright stance; curves are compact and controlled, with tight apertures and neatly tapered connections. Numerals and capitals read as dense, sculptural forms, while the lowercase maintains a conventional x-height and a robust rhythm in text.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, magazine mastheads, poster typography, and brand marks where its contrast and fine detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial pulls or titling, especially when ample size and comfortable spacing preserve the hairlines and counters.
The overall tone is polished and commanding, with a refined, editorial feel. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing suggest luxury, confidence, and a classic, high-style sensibility rather than warmth or casualness.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary, high-contrast serif voice that feels premium and assertive, pairing classic serif structure with a bold, expanded presence for attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and small joins become a defining feature, creating a bright, elegant sparkle against the heavy stems. In dense settings, the combination of wide letters and narrow internal counters can make word shapes feel blocky and emphatic, which suits display use particularly well.
