A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical stress and prominent thick–thin modulation. Serifs are fine and sharp with subtle bracketing, producing crisp entry and exit points and a distinctly chiseled silhouette. Uppercase forms feel statuesque and slightly condensed in internal counters, while lowercase shows compact bowls and occasional ball-like terminals (notably on forms like a and y), giving the texture a lively rhythm. Numerals and capitals carry a confident, sculpted presence, and the overall spacing reads on the tight-to-normal side for dense, impactful setting.
Best used for headlines, magazine typography, and display settings where its contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. It can also support upscale branding and packaging, especially where a dramatic, editorial voice is desired.
The tone is polished and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its contrast and sharp detailing create a sense of elegance and intensity, suited to premium, attention-getting typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast serif: strong, elegant, and visually commanding for display-led typography, while retaining conventional serif proportions that keep it familiar in editorial contexts.
In continuous text the heavy verticals dominate, while the hairline strokes and delicate serifs add sparkle; this creates a striking black-and-white pattern at larger sizes. Curved letters show pronounced tapering into thin joins, which enhances the sophisticated, engraved feel.
