A high-contrast serif with commanding, display-forward proportions and a distinctly vertical construction. Thick main strokes are paired with extremely fine hairlines and needle-like, largely unbracketed serifs, creating a crisp, etched silhouette. Counters tend toward tall, oval forms; joins and terminals feel sharply cut, with occasional teardrop-like finishing on curves. The rhythm is compact in text but reads as sculptural at larger sizes, and the overall color is dark with bright internal whitespace.
Best suited to large-scale typography such as headlines, mastheads, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It also fits premium packaging and event materials that benefit from a polished, high-fashion feel; for sustained small text, generous sizing and careful production are advisable to maintain the hairline detail.
The tone is elegant and theatrical, leaning toward premium editorial and fashion sensibilities. Its stark thick–thin modulation and sharp detailing convey sophistication, formality, and a slightly dramatic, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on the high-contrast serif tradition: maximizing elegance through extreme stroke modulation, sharp serifs, and a disciplined vertical structure optimized for impactful display settings.
Several characters emphasize contrast and verticality, with delicate cross-strokes and hairline diagonals that can visually disappear at small sizes. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and have a showy, display-like stance that complements headlines and titling.
