A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline detailing. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, giving stems a carved, print-like finish, while round letters show tight apertures and neatly controlled joins. Proportions vary noticeably across the alphabet, creating a lively rhythm: wide bowls and compact counters contrast with tall, assertive verticals. Numerals follow the same display-minded logic, with elegant curves and fine terminals that emphasize contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where high contrast and refined serif detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes, but it visually excels in display settings such as posters, packaging, and editorial pull quotes.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing traditional bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its gleaming hairlines and weighty main strokes convey prestige and formality, while the variable proportions add energy and a sense of editorial styling.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional serif optimized for impact and elegance—combining traditional serif construction with heightened contrast and proportion shifts to create a more expressive, premium voice for editorial and branding use.
In the text sample, the heavy main strokes dominate at larger sizes, while the finest hairlines and interior details become more delicate and attention-grabbing, reinforcing its suitability for headline-led typography. Curved characters show a polished, calligraphic stress that reads as intentional and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
