A sculptural serif with towering thick–thin contrast and crisp, hairline serifs. The design leans on vertical stress and narrow apertures, with broad, weighty stems that taper into razor-thin terminals and finely cut joins. Curves are polished and high-tension, and several lowercase forms show compact bowls with pronounced, teardrop-like terminals that add a distinctive rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain a formal, engraved presence, pairing strong verticals with delicate finishing strokes for a striking black-and-white texture in large settings.
Best used for display applications such as headlines, magazine titles, posters, and striking pull quotes where the contrast can shine. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefit from an upscale, editorial voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical—suited to high-end, fashion-forward typography that wants to feel elegant but bold. Its sharp contrast and poised stance evoke glossy magazine headlines, luxury branding, and classic display letterforms with a modern edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum elegance through extreme contrast and precise, unbracketed serifs, prioritizing impact and sophistication over neutral text rendering. Its forms suggest an intention to create a distinctive, fashion-oriented display serif that produces a dramatic, high-contrast texture on the page.
Spacing and internal counters appear intentionally tight, which increases drama and density in words. The hairlines are extremely fine relative to the main strokes, so the face reads best when it can retain its delicate details and avoid filling in at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
