A display-oriented serif with dramatic thick–thin modulation and a clear vertical stress. The design combines heavy, rounded main strokes with very fine, razor-like hairlines and small, sharp serifs, creating a sculpted black-and-white rhythm across words. Counters tend toward compact, teardrop-like forms in several letters, and terminals often end in pointed wedges or delicate hooks. Spacing and widths vary noticeably by glyph, with strong, stable capitals and tightly modeled lowercase forms that read as a cohesive, high-contrast system.
Best suited to large-size applications such as magazine mastheads, editorial headlines, campaign posters, and brand marks where the fine hairlines can be preserved. It also works well on premium packaging and title treatments that benefit from strong contrast and a polished, high-end finish.
The overall tone is refined and dramatic, evoking high-fashion editorial typography and classic luxury branding. Its stark contrast and crisp detailing feel assertive and theatrical, designed to command attention rather than disappear into text.
The design intention appears to be a contemporary, attention-grabbing interpretation of high-contrast serif traditions: maximizing elegance and impact through extreme modulation, crisp hairlines, and sculpted forms optimized for display typography.
Several glyphs show distinctive calligraphic inflections—subtle hooks, pointed joins, and wedge-like cuts—that add personality without breaking the formal, upright posture. Numerals mirror the same contrast and sharp detailing, giving headlines a consistent, premium look across mixed alphanumeric settings.
