A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical rhythm, featuring thick main stems paired with very fine hairlines and delicate, sharp serifs. The letterforms are upright and broad in stance, with compact apertures and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives curves a sculpted, teardrop-like weight distribution. Terminals are crisp and controlled rather than calligraphically loose, and the overall texture is dark and emphatic at text sizes shown. Figures and caps share the same polished, contrasty construction, with smooth bowls and clean, tapered transitions into hairlines.
Best suited to display roles such as magazine headlines, fashion and culture layouts, posters, premium packaging, and brand marks where its contrast and broad proportions can read clearly. It can work for short pull quotes or prominent deck text, but will generally benefit from generous sizing and careful reproduction to preserve the hairlines.
The font conveys a refined, high-end tone with a dramatic, editorial punch. Its sharp contrast and polished detailing feel formal and fashion-forward, suggesting sophistication, ceremony, and premium branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern take on a classic high-contrast serif: a commanding, upscale voice with crisp detailing and strong vertical emphasis for impactful editorial and branding typography.
Spacing appears relatively open in the grid, while in paragraph-style settings the heavy stems create a dense, authoritative color. The fine hairlines and delicate serifs emphasize elegance but visually demand sufficient size and resolution to keep the thin details from disappearing.
