A high-contrast serif with thick, weighty verticals and hairline horizontals and terminals. The serifs are fine and sharply tapered, often with a subtle bracketed transition that gives strokes a carved, sculptural feel rather than a purely mechanical one. Curves are generous and smooth, with crisp joins and narrow hairline connections in letters like a, e, and s; counters stay open despite the heavy main strokes. Overall proportions read as expansive and confident, with strong uppercase presence and a compact, sturdy lowercase that keeps the rhythm tight in text.
Best suited to large sizes where the extreme contrast and hairline serifs can be appreciated—headlines, pull quotes, covers, and luxury branding. It can work for short editorial text or deck copy when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it will be most striking in display applications that emphasize its crisp thick–thin rhythm.
The tone is polished and dramatic, pairing elegance with assertiveness. Its sharp hairlines and bold stems evoke editorial and fashion sensibilities—formal, attention-grabbing, and slightly theatrical—while still feeling rooted in traditional serif conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with heightened contrast and a modern, runway-ready edge. It prioritizes impact and elegance, using razor-fine serifs and sculpted curves to create a refined, premium voice for contemporary editorial and brand settings.
The design leans on vertical stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation, which makes fine details and hairlines visually prominent. Numerals and capitals carry a poster-like gravity, while the lowercase shows carefully shaped terminals and distinctive, curled details on characters such as g and j that add personality without becoming ornate.
