A sculpted serif with sharply tapered stems and extremely thin hairlines, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with pointed terminals that give many letters a chiseled, engraved feel. Rounds (C, O, Q, e, o) show tight, controlled curves with narrow apertures, and the lowercase is compact with sturdy, vertical stress and crisp joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinct, stylized shapes and small hairline connections that read best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for editorial layouts, luxury branding, and poster titling, especially when paired with a quieter sans or low-contrast serif for body copy.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining a classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and stark contrast convey elegance and confidence, lending a premium, curated feel rather than an everyday utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, high-fashion take on conventional serif forms—prioritizing striking contrast, crisp terminals, and a polished editorial presence. It aims to feel authoritative and upscale while remaining recognizably traditional in structure.
At text sizes the finest hairlines and small interior counters can begin to close up, while in display settings the precise wedges, brackets, and dramatic contrast become a defining feature. The rhythm is more stately than warm, emphasizing structure and impact over softness.
