A high-contrast serif with a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic construction. Thick verticals dominate while hairline horizontals and joins stay razor-thin, creating crisp, sparkling counters and a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many strokes end in tapered or teardrop terminals that feel chiseled rather than mechanical. Proportions skew slightly condensed in the round letters, with sturdy capitals and compact lowercase forms that keep the texture dense and punchy. Figures follow the same dramatic contrast, with an oldstyle feel in their varying widths and curved strokes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp detailing can read clearly. It can work for book and magazine titling, luxury branding elements, and striking poster typography, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain distinct.
The tone is elegant and assertive, combining traditional bookish credibility with a theatrical, high-fashion edge. Its sharp serifs and glossy contrast suggest formality and prestige, while the lively terminals add a hint of flourish and personality.
This design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serifs: authoritative and literary at its core, but tuned for attention-grabbing, elegant display use through pronounced contrast and stylized terminals.
The typeface produces a dark, high-impact typographic color, especially in heavier text settings, and relies on thin hairlines for its sparkle. The italic is not shown; the overall impression is firmly roman and display-leaning even when used in paragraphs.
