A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation, vertical stress, and very fine hairlines that snap into heavy stems. Serifs are sharp and minimally bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, engraved feel rather than a soft book face texture. Proportions vary noticeably across the alphabet, with narrow, towering capitals alongside rounder forms, producing a lively, display-oriented rhythm. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy counters and assertive joins, with delicate thin strokes used as accents (notably in diagonals and cross-strokes) against substantial main strokes; numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sculpted, editorial silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, pull quotes, and brand marks where its contrast and razor serifs can be appreciated. It works particularly well for fashion, beauty, arts, and luxury packaging layouts, and for poster typography that needs a classic yet dramatic voice.
The font conveys a polished, high-fashion tone with theatrical contrast and a sense of prestige. Its sharp detailing and elegant hairlines feel formal and curated, while the heavyweight stems add authority and impact for statement typography.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, display-forward interpretation of high-contrast serif traditions, prioritizing elegance and impact through extreme modulation, crisp serifs, and a strongly vertical rhythm.
At larger sizes the hairlines read as refined and precise; in denser text the extreme contrast and tight internal spaces can create a dark, punchy texture. The sample text shows strong word shapes and a distinctive, slightly condensed presence that emphasizes verticality and snap.
