A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strong vertical stress. Stems are weighty and dominant, while cross-strokes and serifs drop to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, and curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and the figures) are tightly controlled with clean, chiseled transitions. Overall proportions feel moderately wide in capitals with compact, sturdy lowercase forms, producing a stately, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, and large-format editorial typography where the contrast and hairlines can be appreciated. It can work for branding and packaging that aims for a polished, high-end feel, and for short pull quotes or titling where its dramatic rhythm remains clear.
The typeface conveys an editorial, fashion-forward tone with a classical foundation. Its dramatic contrast and razor-like details read as refined and premium, while the heavy main strokes give it assertive headline presence.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif elegance with heightened contrast and a bold, contemporary punch. It prioritizes striking vertical rhythm and sharp finishing details to create a refined display voice for prominent typographic moments.
In the sample text, the strong stroke contrast creates a distinctive shimmer: dense dark verticals punctuated by bright hairline connections. Numerals are similarly stylized with emphasized stems and delicate internal joins, aligning well with the font’s display-first character.
