A heavy, display-oriented serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a pronounced vertical stress. Stems and main bowls are massively weighted, while connecting strokes and serifs collapse to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, cut-paper contrast. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, and many forms show wedge-like, tapered terminals that add bite to the silhouette. Proportions read broad and assertive, with round letters (O, C, G) feeling expansive and the lowercase featuring compact counters and a sturdy, anchored rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where contrast and impact are desired. It can also work for short pull quotes or packaging titles, especially when generous size and spacing preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, balancing classical elegance with a punchy, poster-like presence. The high-contrast sparkle and razor serifs suggest prestige and formality, while the oversized black mass gives it a bold, attention-seeking voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact modern-classic display serif: it amplifies traditional vertical-stress letterforms with extreme contrast and broad proportions to deliver immediate presence while retaining a refined, premium finish.
In text samples, the dense weight and tight internal whites make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the hairlines and serifs have room to resolve cleanly. The figures are similarly stylized, with strong old-style character in their curves and sharply defined entry/exit strokes.
