A high-contrast serif with sculpted, tapered stems and sharp wedge-like serifs that often feel slightly flared. Round letters show strong thick–thin modulation with tight, elegant curves, while verticals remain firm and upright. Terminals are crisp and pointed rather than blunt, giving many joins and stroke endings a cut, chiseled finish. The lowercase keeps a conventional text-seriffed structure with a moderate x-height, but the heavy weight and pronounced contrast push it toward headline use; figures and capitals read robust and stately, with some narrow internal counters in letters like e and a.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, mastheads, and other editorial typography where strong contrast and crisp serifs can carry the voice. It can work for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic impression, and for posters or announcements where dense, dramatic text is desirable.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, combining classic bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast create a sense of luxury and ceremony, suited to messaging that wants to feel premium and emphatic.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif model with heightened contrast and sharpened terminals, delivering a refined but attention-forward texture for display typography. It aims to balance conventional letter skeletons with a more sculptural finish that reads as modern-luxury rather than purely bookish.
In text settings the weight and contrast create dark, attention-grabbing lines; spacing appears tuned for display density rather than airy reading color. The design’s wedge serifs and pointed terminals give a distinctive, slightly aggressive crispness that becomes more pronounced at larger sizes.
