A high-contrast serif with a distinctly vertical rhythm: thick, weighty stems are paired with very fine hairlines and crisp, sharply cut serifs. Curves are sculpted and tightly controlled, with tapered joins and small, pointed terminals that give counters a chiseled feel. Proportions skew display-oriented, with uppercase forms that read monumental and a lowercase that maintains a steady, traditional skeleton; punctuation and numerals follow the same stark thick–thin logic for a unified texture in text.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, poster typography, and brand marks where the high contrast can be appreciated. It also fits luxury packaging and editorial pull quotes, especially when paired with ample spacing and clean layouts.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, with an editorial, fashion-forward confidence. The sharp hairlines and sculpted details add a refined, slightly formal character that feels premium rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast serif styling—prioritizing impact, elegance, and a crisp typographic silhouette for prominent, attention-getting settings.
At larger sizes the fine strokes and pointed terminals become a defining feature, creating a sparkling, high-end texture in headlines. In dense settings, the contrast produces strong word shapes and pronounced vertical cadence, especially in all-caps lines.
