A high-contrast serif with thick, weighty main strokes and hairline-thin connecting strokes and serifs. The forms are upright and broadly proportioned, with crisp, sharp terminals and small bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and full, while joins and cross-strokes often taper to fine points, creating a rhythmic, shimmering texture at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals read as imposing and formal, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable structure while still showing pronounced stroke modulation.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where strong contrast and sharp detailing can be showcased. It can work for short text blocks or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and spacing, but it is most effective when allowed to read as a display serif.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion-forward, editorial edge. The sharp hairlines and sculpted curves suggest refinement and exclusivity, while the heavy verticals give it a commanding, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast take on conventional serif letterforms: familiar structure for legibility, paired with dramatic modulation and crisp finishing for impact. It aims to communicate prestige and authority while remaining versatile enough for contemporary editorial layouts.
The sample text shows strong color and dense word shapes, with especially striking contrast in rounds (C, O, Q) and in diagonals (V, W, X, Y). Hairline elements and delicate serifs are prominent, so the face visually favors sizes where its fine details can remain clear.
