A high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines set against strong, dark main strokes and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, with an overall crisp, cut-paper look and minimal bracketing. The proportions run broad, with generous capitals and open counters; joins and terminals often resolve into needle-like points that emphasize the contrast. Spacing and rhythm feel display-oriented: thick strokes create bold blocks of tone while the hairlines add delicate internal detail, producing a striking light–dark cadence across words.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where the hairlines can remain crisp and the contrast can be appreciated. It fits fashion and luxury branding, editorial design, premium packaging, and large-format posters where the elegant sharp serifs add sophistication and impact.
The typeface reads as polished and dramatic, combining classic editorial authority with a fashion-forward sheen. Its shimmering hairlines and emphatic verticals give it a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the clean, precise finishing keeps it modern and controlled.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance, drama, and a premium editorial presence through extreme stroke modulation, sharp serifs, and wide, commanding proportions.
The numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with several figures showing pronounced thin strokes and sharp terminals that become especially noticeable at larger sizes. In running text, the alternating heavy stems and fine connectors create a lively texture that prioritizes style over neutrality.
