A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, thick main stems, and extremely fine hairline serifs. Curves are sculpted and somewhat condensed in their internal spaces, with crisp, sharp terminals and minimal bracketing. The overall color is dark and emphatic, while the hairlines and joins stay clean and refined, producing a punchy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Figures follow the same contrast logic, mixing solid bodies with delicate strokes for a distinctly typographic, display-oriented texture.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can remain visible and the contrast can do its work—magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, and brand wordmarks. It also performs well for bold pull quotes and titling where a dramatic, high-end serif presence is desired.
The font conveys a formal, editorial tone with a sense of drama and polish. Its sharp contrast and crisp detailing feel upscale and traditional, suggesting prestige and seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended as a statement serif: maximizing contrast and crisp detailing to deliver impact while maintaining classical proportions and a disciplined upright structure. It prioritizes visual authority and elegance over neutrality, making it ideal for attention-grabbing editorial and branding applications.
Round letters like O/C show tight counters relative to the heavy outer strokes, amplifying the “inked” appearance in text. Uppercase forms read particularly monumental, while lowercase retains the same contrast and sharpness, creating a consistent, assertive voice across mixed-case settings.
