A high-contrast serif with sharply cut, wedge-like serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a sculpted, calligraphic feel. Hairlines are extremely thin against weighty main strokes, producing a crisp, high-fashion rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The capitals are stately and compact with pointed apexes (notably in A and W) and finely tapered joins, while the lowercase shows controlled modulation with tight apertures and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same tension between razor-thin hairlines and bold stems, with elegant curves and brisk terminals that keep the set visually unified.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine spreads, pull quotes, luxury branding, and poster titles where the high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial subheads or front-matter typography when set with generous size and comfortable leading.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—confident, upscale, and slightly dramatic. Its extreme contrast and sharp finishing details suggest luxury contexts and a deliberate, curated voice rather than casual readability.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with a more modern, high-contrast sharpness, using flared terminals and finely cut serifs to create a premium, attention-grabbing texture. Its proportions and contrast aim to deliver elegance and authority in display settings.
In text, the strong vertical stress and hairline horizontals create a shimmering texture with prominent stroke contrast, especially at larger sizes. The flared endings and fine serifs add definition and bite, while the overall spacing reads as measured and composed, reinforcing a formal typographic presence.
