A high-contrast serif with strong vertical emphasis and crisp, hairline-thin connecting strokes. Serifs are fine and sharp, with a largely unbracketed, cut-in feel that creates clean terminals and a precise rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and stately with generous interior counters, while the lowercase shows a bookish texture with a sturdy baseline and clear differentiation between stems and bowls. Numerals are similarly contrasty and display-oriented, with bold main strokes and delicate finishing details that read as refined at larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial titles, poster typography, and brand marks where high contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or deck lines, especially when set with ample size and comfortable spacing to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is elegant and assertive, combining a classic, print-centric sophistication with a theatrical contrast that draws attention. It feels formal and premium, suited to settings where sharp refinement and strong typographic presence are desirable.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif voice: dramatic stroke modulation, sharp finishing, and a confident vertical structure that elevates messaging and adds a premium, editorial sheen.
The font’s contrast and hairline details create a bright, sparkling edge in large text, while the dense black main strokes produce a commanding headline color. The combination of crisp serifs and narrow hairlines gives it a distinctly polished, high-fashion editorial character.
