A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are sharp and triangular with a subtly carved, incised feel, giving strokes a sculptural finish rather than a purely calligraphic one. Counters are compact and the joins are clean, producing dense, solid word shapes that stay controlled at display sizes. The lowercase shows conventional proportions with a moderate x-height, while capitals read broad and weighty, with strong vertical emphasis and clear, sharp silhouette edges.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display settings where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages when a dense, emphatic typographic color is desired, and for branding applications that need a classic, upscale voice.
The overall tone is formal and premium, with a strong editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast create a sense of authority and refinement, leaning toward classic publishing and fashion contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on traditional high-contrast serif forms, combining crisp wedge serifs with a compact, forceful texture. It prioritizes impact and refinement for editorial and brand-forward typography.
The sample text shows tight internal spacing and dense texture in paragraphs, where the bold color and contrast become a defining feature. Numerals are sturdy and expressive, matching the sculpted serif language and maintaining a consistent, high-impact rhythm.
