A high-contrast serif with vertical stress, pairing thick, dark main strokes with very thin hairlines and needle-like serifs. The forms are upright and relatively wide, with open counters and crisp, sharply cut terminals that keep edges clean at display sizes. Serifs are fine and mostly unbracketed, and the rhythm alternates between heavy verticals and delicate connecting strokes, creating a distinctly sculpted texture. Numerals show the same contrast and crispness, with compact joins and strong black areas on curved figures like 8 and 9.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, magazine titling, brand wordmarks, and premium packaging where its contrast and fine serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when given adequate size and spacing to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, leaning toward an editorial and fashion-forward voice. Its stark thick–thin modulation and refined details evoke a sense of luxury and formality, while the crisp geometry keeps it feeling contemporary rather than nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif voice with a strong vertical rhythm—optimised for attention-grabbing typography that signals sophistication and modern elegance.
In text settings, the contrast produces a lively sparkle: hairlines and serifs become prominent visual cues, and the darker stems create a strong vertical cadence. At smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs, the thinnest strokes may visually recede, while at larger sizes the sharp details read as intentional, premium finish.
