A strongly contrasted serif with pronounced vertical stress and a sculpted, display-forward build. Thick main stems are paired with very thin hairlines and needle-like serifs, creating a crisp, chiseled silhouette. Curves are generous and smooth, while several joins and terminals show sharp, triangular cuts that add snap and definition. Proportions feel expanded and open, with robust capitals and a lowercase that stays clear and readable; counters are ample and the overall rhythm is bold and steady rather than delicate.
Best suited to headlines and large text where the contrast and fine hairlines can be appreciated, such as magazine covers, editorial layouts, premium branding, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or titling in print or high-resolution digital settings where the thin strokes remain intact.
The face reads as confident and formal, with a dramatic, high-fashion sheen. Its sharp details and deep contrast give it an assertive, premium tone that can feel both traditional and theatrical depending on scale and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through extreme contrast and crisp serif detailing, combining classic editorial letterforms with a slightly stylized, cut-terminal attitude. It prioritizes presence and elegance over neutrality, aiming to make titles and brand statements feel elevated and decisive.
The numerals and punctuation carry the same high-contrast treatment, with standout shapes in the 2, 3, and 9 that emphasize sweeping curves against fine hairlines. The lowercase includes a single-storey a and g, and several letters show distinctive wedge-like terminals that heighten the sense of precision.
