A display serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly vertical rhythm. Stems and main strokes are weighty and rounded, while serifs and connecting hairlines snap to fine, crisp points, creating a sculpted, high-contrast silhouette. Letterforms are expansive with generous set-widths and roomy counters; curves are full and bulbous, and terminals often end in pointed, wedge-like details that read as slightly calligraphic without becoming cursive. The overall texture is bold and dark in mass, punctuated by delicate hairline cuts that add sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and large-format typography where contrast and hairline serifs can resolve cleanly. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and title treatments that benefit from a luxurious, high-drama serif voice. For long passages of small body text, its dense weight and delicate hairlines may require careful sizing and generous spacing.
The tone is glamorous and editorial, balancing elegance with a confident, attention-grabbing presence. Its sharp hairlines and dramatic contrast evoke fashion publishing and upscale branding, while the broad proportions give it a modern, poster-ready authority. The feeling is refined but theatrical—designed to be noticed.
The design appears intended as a statement display serif: wide, sculptural forms paired with razor-thin finishing strokes to maximize impact and sophistication. It prioritizes striking silhouette and editorial polish over neutral, workhorse readability.
Numerals show strong personality with curved, flared terminals and tight interior notches that amplify the contrast. In text settings, the heavy verticals create a dense color, so spacing and size become important to preserve the fine details and avoid filling-in on hairlines.
