A high-contrast display serif with strongly bracketed, flared serifs and a crisp, chiseled stroke vocabulary. Vertical stems are heavy and column-like while hairlines are extremely thin, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and sharp internal joins. Counters tend to be compact and the curves are taut, with many letters showing narrow apertures and pointed apexes (notably in A, V, W, and Y). The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and delicate connecting hairlines, and the numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, mixing broad verticals with razor-thin horizontals and diagonals.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and short blocks of editorial text where its high contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits branding for luxury goods, fashion, and cultural institutions, plus poster and campaign typography that benefits from a refined, attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, with a polished, high-end presence that reads as editorial and fashion-forward. The extreme contrast and sculpted serifs convey authority and sophistication, leaning toward a classical, print-inspired sensibility with modern sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif voice with flared, bracketed serifs that add sculptural weight and a premium feel. Its proportions and contrast prioritize impact and elegance over neutrality, aiming for distinctive display performance in editorial and brand settings.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight apertures create a dark, rhythmic texture, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and brackets remain clearly visible. The design’s thin strokes and sharp joins suggest it will be most convincing where reproduction is clean and sizes are not too small.
