A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a carved, calligraphic feel that shows up in the angled joins and pointed beaks on letters like E, F, T, and the diagonals of K, V, and W. Counters are relatively generous for the weight, while curves (C, G, O, S) show a polished, slightly sculptural rhythm with strong stress. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with elegant curves and distinctive top/bottom terminals.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and prominent editorial typography where the dramatic contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work well for luxury branding, packaging, and poster work that calls for a refined, classical voice with strong visual impact.
The overall tone is upscale and editorial, balancing classical sophistication with a slightly theatrical snap from its sharp terminals and extreme modulation. It feels appropriate for fashion-forward or cultural contexts where elegance and authority are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif forms with heightened contrast and carefully shaped terminals, optimizing for attention and elegance in display and editorial settings rather than purely utilitarian text.
At display sizes the contrast and pointed details read clearly and add character; in dense settings the fine hairlines and tight internal joins can create a more dramatic, black-and-white texture. The lowercase includes distinct ball/teardrop terminals and a stylized, looping feel on letters such as a, g, and y, reinforcing the font’s expressive, crafted personality.
