A sculpted serif with striking thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical axis. Serifs are sharp and fine, with wedge-like terminals and crisp, knife‑edge joins that heighten the contrast. The overall color is dark and elegant, with compact proportions and tight interior counters that create a brisk, fashion-like rhythm in text. Uppercase forms feel tall and commanding, while the lowercase shows traditional, print-oriented shapes (including a two-storey a and g) and small, precise details in the beaks, hooks, and brackets.
This design is best suited to display typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated—magazine headlines, fashion/editorial layouts, posters, and refined branding systems. It can also work for short pull quotes or subheads where a formal, premium voice is desired and spacing can be tuned for clarity.
The tone is polished and editorial, projecting luxury and authority through its dramatic contrast and crisp finishing. It reads as classic and cultured, with a slightly theatrical edge that suits high-impact typographic statements.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary, high-fashion take on a classic serif model: narrow, high-contrast forms with crisp serifs aimed at producing an elegant, authoritative presence in display and editorial contexts.
In continuous setting, the thin strokes and pointed terminals become a defining texture, producing a lively shimmer along stems and serifs. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and prominent verticals that align well with the uppercase’s stature.
