A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharp hairline serifs that read as clean and unbracketed. The forms feel sturdy and slightly expanded, with prominent thick strokes in letters like B, D, O, and S balanced by very fine connecting strokes and crisp joins. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall rhythm is stately rather than compact. Numerals show the same thick–thin logic, with bold main strokes and delicate finishing details.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of text where high contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It fits magazine and cultural editorial layouts, premium branding, and packaging or signage that aims for a refined, classic impression.
The typeface conveys an editorial, upscale tone—formal, dramatic, and confident. Its pronounced contrast and refined hairlines suggest a fashion-magazine sensibility, while the substantial verticals keep it assertive and headline-ready.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with a premium editorial feel—combining elegant hairlines and vertical stress with enough weight in the main strokes to remain commanding in display settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp serifs become a defining feature, giving the face a polished, high-end finish. The visual color is strong and somewhat uneven by design, with noticeable thick–thin snap that prioritizes impact over neutrality.
