A sculpted serif with sharp hairlines and weighty stems, built around pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals that create a carved, high-fidelity silhouette. Rounds are compact and controlled, counters feel relatively tight, and curves show a subtly calligraphic tension that keeps the rhythm lively. The lowercase maintains a conventional text structure while exhibiting assertive stroke contrast and tapered joins, and the numerals follow the same stately, high-contrast logic.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine titling, and book covers where contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding and poster typography when paired with ample spacing and clean supporting type for longer text.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a sense of tradition and authority. Its dramatic contrast and pointed detailing lend a luxurious, headline-ready character that reads as confident and slightly theatrical rather than casual.
The design appears intended to reinterpret conventional text-serifs with heightened contrast and sharpened, wedge-like serif detailing for stronger presence in display and editorial contexts. It prioritizes elegance and impact while keeping familiar proportions and a traditional serif structure.
At display sizes the sharp hairlines, teardrop-like terminals, and sculpted brackets become a defining feature, giving words a distinctive texture. In dense settings the strong contrast and compact counters produce a dark, punchy color with pronounced vertical emphasis.
