A striking modern serif with pronounced vertical stress and razor-thin hairlines set against heavy stems. Serifs are sharp and delicate, often with a slightly flared, calligraphic feel, while curves show crisp transitions and tight apertures. The proportions lean broad with generous counters in rounds like O and C, and a lively width variation across letters that creates an uneven, attention-grabbing rhythm. Details like the looped g, the strong diagonal leg on R, and the sculpted figures emphasize a display-first build.
Best suited to display use such as magazine headlines, fashion and lifestyle layouts, poster titles, and premium brand wordmarks. It can also work for pull quotes and short subheads where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated without crowding.
The overall tone is polished and high-impact, balancing refinement with a bold, theatrical presence. It evokes contemporary editorial typography—confident, upscale, and designed to command attention in headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended as a contemporary high-contrast serif for expressive display typography, prioritizing dramatic contrast, refined hairlines, and distinctive shaping to create a memorable, editorial voice.
In text settings the strong contrast and fine serifs create a sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes, while the dense weight of main strokes keeps the color dark and assertive. Curved letters and numerals read as carefully carved, with distinctive terminals that add personality.
