A high-contrast serif with towering vertical stems, very thin hairlines, and sharply cut wedge-like serifs. The design emphasizes strong thick–thin transitions and crisp, clean joins, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved feel. Proportions run broad and display-oriented, with compact inner counters that heighten the black-and-white patterning and keep the texture dense at larger sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine covers, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and crisp serif detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes and titling, but the fine hairlines suggest using comfortable sizes and print- or screen-safe settings to preserve detail.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, mixing elegance with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. It reads as modern-classic and slightly theatrical, suitable for statements where contrast and sophistication are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary high-fashion serif voice: classic structure amplified with extreme contrast, sharp serif cuts, and broad display proportions for maximum impact in short-form typography.
Round letters show pronounced vertical stress and tight interior space, while diagonals and joins stay clean and precise rather than calligraphic. The numerals carry the same high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and sharp transitions that keep them visually consistent with the caps.
