A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and crisp, sharply cut terminals. Stems and bowls carry strong thick–thin modulation with hairline crossbars and delicate joins, while serifs read as finely tapered wedges rather than slabs. The design feels clean and upright with a steady baseline and a slightly calligraphic, sculpted finish visible in the flared stroke endings and tight internal apertures. In text, the rhythm is bold and graphic, with pronounced vertical emphasis and clear letterforms that hold together despite the thin horizontals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display settings where its contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and fashion-oriented editorial layouts, as well as brand marks and packaging that call for a polished, premium serif.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, evoking fashion publishing, premium packaging, and classic display typography. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing create a sense of formality and confidence, with a refined, slightly theatrical presence.
The design appears intended as a contemporary, high-contrast display serif that references classic modern-style forms while prioritizing impact and elegance. Its wide stance and razor-thin details suggest a focus on sophisticated typography for titles and brand-forward communication.
At larger sizes the hairlines and thin joins become a defining feature, giving the face a crisp, high-end sparkle; in dense text the strong contrast produces a striking, poster-like color rather than a quiet book texture. The wide set adds openness and grandeur, making headlines feel expansive and composed.
