A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and crisp wedge-like serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins to heavy, rounded bowls, creating a pronounced light–dark rhythm. Terminals often flare into sharp points, and several letters show angled, chiseled transitions that give the forms a carved, editorial feel. The uppercase is broad and stately with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and lively, slightly irregular internal shapes that keep the texture animated in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and large-size editorial typography where its hairlines and sculpted details can be appreciated. It also fits fashion, beauty, and cultural branding, as well as posters and packaging that benefit from a refined yet assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and dramatic, with a fashion-and-editorial sensibility. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural serifs read as confident and refined, leaning toward luxury and high-impact display rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and expressive, carved detailing for attention-grabbing typography. It aims to balance traditional proportions with a more dramatic, contemporary finish that elevates titles and brand statements.
Round letters like O and Q show pronounced contrast and a smooth, almost teardrop-like thickening, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) appear crisp and angular, emphasizing a cut-paper or chiseled impression. Numerals carry the same theatrical contrast and pointed detailing, helping figures stand out in headings and pull quotes.
