A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines set against heavy main stems. Serifs are wedge-like and flared, often triangular, with crisp terminals and pronounced bracketing that creates a carved, chiseled feel. Counters are relatively compact and the joins are tight, giving the design a dense color in text despite the fine hairlines. Uppercase forms feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, vertical rhythm; round letters (O, C, e) are more elliptical than circular, and the numerals carry the same thick–thin drama with pointed finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial typography, and brand marks where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also fits premium packaging and promotional posters that benefit from a dramatic, high-impact serif voice.
The tone is bold and theatrical, with a refined, editorial polish. It suggests heritage and authority, but the sharp flares and high contrast add a sense of tension and spectacle that reads as fashion-forward rather than purely traditional.
The design appears intended to merge classical serif structure with flared, sculpted terminals to maximize impact in display contexts. Its tall lowercase and strong vertical rhythm aim to keep text blocks energetic and authoritative while retaining a refined, high-contrast character.
At display sizes the razor-thin strokes and pointed serifs become a defining detail, creating sparkling highlights and strong shape contrast. In dense settings the heavy verticals and narrow apertures produce a dark, emphatic texture, so spacing and size will strongly influence readability.
