A sculpted serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs that often taper to fine points. Curves are generous and rounded, while joins and terminals show a calligraphic influence, producing lively stroke transitions and a slightly faceted feel in places. The lowercase mixes sturdy bowls with delicate hairline entry/exit strokes (notably in forms like a, e, s, and t), and the overall rhythm reads confident and display-leaning rather than purely bookish.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and fine details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It fits editorial design, luxury branding, packaging, and poster work, especially when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classic print tradition with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp details and glossy contrast suggest premium, curated contexts—more runway and magazine than utilitarian office text.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with elevated contrast and fashion editorial polish, prioritizing impact, elegance, and distinctive letterform character in display settings.
Uppercase forms feel authoritative and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through flicked terminals and pronounced teardrop-like finishing in several glyphs. Numerals share the same high-contrast, stylized construction, giving figures a headline-ready presence.
