A sculpted display serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are broad and polished, while terminals often taper to fine points, giving letters a cut, chiseled finish. Capitals feel wide and commanding with strong vertical stress; lowercase forms are compact with rounded bowls and small, crisp serifs. The overall rhythm is punchy and high-impact, with tight internal counters and assertive strokes that favor larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where contrast and sculpted details can read cleanly. It also works well for premium packaging and poster titling, particularly when paired with a restrained sans for supporting text.
The tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish authority with modern fashion/editorial drama. Its crisp hairlines and flared details suggest luxury and ceremony, while the heavy main strokes create a confident, headline-forward voice.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif for editorial and branding settings, combining classical proportions with sharpened, contemporary detailing for a distinctive display presence.
Several glyphs show distinctive, slightly calligraphic quirks—such as a swashy leg on the Q and lively hooks/teardrop-like joins in letters like g, j, and y—adding personality without breaking the formal structure. Numerals are weighty and stylized, matching the display emphasis of the capitals.
