A display-forward, high-contrast serif with razor-thin hairlines and broad, inky verticals. The construction shows crisp, wedge-like terminals and subtly flared joins that create a sharp, sculpted rhythm across uppercase and lowercase. Counters are generous and clean, while curves (notably in O/C/G and numerals) feel polished and controlled. The overall silhouette reads wide and stately, with strong vertical emphasis and careful spacing that keeps the contrast from collapsing in larger settings.
Best suited to large sizes where the hairlines can breathe—magazine headlines, fashion and beauty branding, luxury packaging, posters, and cinematic title treatments. It can also work for short pull quotes or section openers, but extended small-size text would demand careful production and generous size/leading to preserve the finest strokes.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, with a runway/editorial sensibility and a hint of classic gravitas. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals convey precision and confidence, making text feel elevated and intentional rather than casual.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion interpretation of classical letterforms—maximizing contrast and sharp terminal shapes to create a premium, attention-grabbing voice for display typography.
The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure (double-storey a, compact e, brisk s) that pairs classic forms with distinctly modern contrast. Numerals share the same sharp, calligraphic tension, with thin joins and bold stems that stand out in headlines.
