A sculpted serif with sharp, wedge-like terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a carved, chiseled feel. Serifs read as tapered and slightly flared rather than slabby, with crisp entry/exit points and smooth, continuous curves in rounds. Proportions are moderately condensed in places with a lively, variable rhythm across glyphs, while the overall stance stays upright and formal. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with clear counters and a strong baseline presence, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, tapered logic.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and brand marks where a luxurious, high-contrast serif can carry the visual identity. It also fits packaging, invitations, and poster typography that benefits from sharp, sculptural details and a classic-yet-contemporary voice.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast convey elegance and confidence, suited to refined, high-impact settings rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, elegant serif that reads as traditional in structure but modern in finish, using tapered, flared endings and strong contrast to create a distinctive display presence while remaining coherent in short text settings.
At text sizes the strong contrast and fine connecting strokes suggest it will prefer generous sizing and comfortable leading, while at display sizes the angular terminals and flared endings become a defining stylistic signature. Round letters keep an even, controlled stress, and diagonals (such as V/W/X/Y) emphasize the crisp, cut quality of the design.
