A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, pairing dense, weighty main stems with extremely thin hairlines and razor-fine serifs. The letterforms feel expansive and confident, with broad bowls and a slightly theatrical modulation that makes counters and apertures read as sculpted shapes. Serifs are crisp and largely unbracketed, and many terminals resolve into sharp points or knife-like wedges. Overall rhythm is punchy and emphatic, with strong dark–light patterning across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks where its extreme contrast and sharp serifs can remain crisp. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The tone is polished and dramatic, projecting an editorial, high-fashion sensibility with a touch of classical formality. Its stark contrast and crisp detailing create a sense of luxury and authority, suited to bold, declarative typography.
The design appears intended as a modern, editorial display serif that maximizes contrast and presence for attention-grabbing typography. Its crisp serifs, vertical stress, and sculptural shapes suggest a goal of delivering a luxurious, contemporary take on classic high-contrast forms.
Uppercase forms are particularly commanding, with wide proportions and large black shapes that hold attention at display sizes. The lowercase shows lively details (notably in letters with hooks and tails), adding personality without breaking the refined, high-contrast system. Numerals match the display intent, with strong silhouettes and delicate hairline features.
