A sharply contrasted serif with tall proportions, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and a strongly vertical axis. Hairline serifs and terminals stay crisp and unbracketed, while the main stems carry substantial weight, creating a clear, rhythmic texture in text. Curves are clean and controlled, counters are relatively open, and the overall fit reads slightly generous, giving capitals and figures a spacious, display-forward stance. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine joins and delicate horizontals.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where the contrast and fine details can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when paired with ample whitespace and high-quality printing or screens.
The font projects a polished, high-fashion tone with a sense of ceremony and drama. Its bright hairlines and sculpted forms feel sophisticated and traditional, lending an upscale, editorial voice that can also read slightly theatrical at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on classic high-contrast book and fashion lettering, prioritizing elegance and impact over utilitarian text robustness. It aims to provide a confident, upscale voice with crisp detail and strong vertical rhythm.
In continuous text, the extreme contrast emphasizes vertical strokes and can create a shimmering pattern, especially where thin horizontals and hairline serifs cluster. The design maintains consistent tension between sturdy stems and delicate details, rewarding careful sizing and sufficient resolution in output.
