A tightly drawn display serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a predominantly vertical stress. The main strokes are heavy and compact, while hairlines and joins snap to sharp, crisp terminals, producing a punchy black-on-white rhythm. Serifs are fine and pointed with minimal bracketing, and several letters show ball terminals and small notches/ink-trap-like cuts at joins that add sparkle and help separate counters at heavy weights. Proportions are on the broad side with generous caps and sturdy numerals, giving the face a strong horizontal presence in words.
Best suited to headlines, magazine or book titling, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and a rich typographic color are desirable. It can also work for packaging and display pull-quotes, particularly when set with comfortable tracking and ample leading.
The overall tone is bold and formal, with a high-fashion editorial feel that reads confident and a bit theatrical. Its sharp contrast and polished detailing evoke classic print sophistication while still feeling attention-grabbing and modern in impact.
Likely designed as a statement serif that amplifies contrast and sharp terminal detailing to deliver impact at display sizes. The broad proportions and consistent vertical-stress construction suggest an emphasis on refined drama and clear word-shapes for prominent typographic roles.
In text, the dense weight and tight counters create a dark color that rewards larger sizes; at smaller sizes, the fine hairlines and interior cuts may lose definition. The alphabet shows consistent contrast logic across caps, lowercase, and figures, with distinctive terminals that lend personality without becoming ornamental.
