A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sculpted joins. The serifs read as wedge-like and flared rather than slabby, with sharp, tapering terminals on many strokes and occasional ball terminals in the lowercase. Counters are relatively open, with a strong vertical stress and a confident, weighty main stem presence that creates a tight, punchy rhythm in text. The uppercase is broad and assertive, while the lowercase mixes sturdy stems with calligraphic flicks and subtly irregular, tapered finishes that keep the texture lively.
Best suited to headlines, magazine display, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding applications such as packaging, mastheads, and event or cultural posters that benefit from a formal, high-impact serif presence.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, pairing classic print sensibilities with a slightly expressive, cut-and-carved sharpness. It feels luxurious and authoritative, with enough flourish to suggest fashion, culture, or prestige branding rather than utilitarian reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-contrast serif voice with flared, wedge-like detailing—balancing classical proportions with expressive terminals for maximum impact at display sizes.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed terminals create striking word shapes and a dark, emphatic color on the page. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with stylized curves and tapered joins that suit headline settings.
