A refined serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Hairline serifs and terminals are sharply cut, while the main stems are tall, dark, and straight, producing a distinctly crisp rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in many letters and the overall proportion reads on the condensed side, with carefully controlled spacing that keeps word shapes compact. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a narrow, cleanly bracketless construction throughout, and a high-contrast italic-like delicacy in certain entry/exit strokes even while remaining upright.
Best suited for headlines, large-size editorial typography, and branding where high contrast can be appreciated and fine hairlines won’t break down. It can work well for fashion and beauty packaging, mastheads, pull quotes, and high-impact posters, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is polished and high-fashion, projecting luxury through stark contrast and precise detailing. Its sharp hairlines and disciplined verticality create a dramatic, editorial voice that feels modern yet rooted in classic display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, luxury-leaning interpretation of classic high-contrast serifs, emphasizing sharp refinement, vertical structure, and strong display presence. It prioritizes elegance and impact in larger settings over neutral, everyday text color.
In the samples, the font maintains strong consistency across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with especially bold verticals and very fine connecting strokes that create a striking black-and-white texture. The ampersand and curved letters show smooth, controlled curves with minimal softening, reinforcing the crisp, formal character.
