A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and hairline horizontals that create a crisp, chiselled texture. Serifs are fine and sharply tapered with subtle bracketing, giving strokes a sculpted, calligraphic finish rather than blunt terminals. Proportions feel traditional and moderately condensed in capitals, with lively curves and pronounced thick–thin transitions in rounds like C, G, and O. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with tight apertures and pointed joins; the overall rhythm reads as formal and controlled, especially in larger display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent typographic moments where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined, editorial voice.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward elegance with a dramatic, high-end tone. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest authority and polish, leaning toward classic luxury rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif tradition, emphasizing sharpness, elegance, and visual drama for display-oriented typography while remaining coherent in word shapes.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive, flowing curves and fine entry/exit strokes that add a slightly engraved feel. In text settings, the dense color and hairline connections can create a striking sparkle, especially where diagonals and curves meet.
