A bold, high-contrast serif with expansive proportions and a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic stress. Strokes alternate between thick, rounded main stems and razor-thin hairlines, with bracketed wedge serifs and occasional beak-like terminals. Curves are generously modeled and slightly swollen, producing a dark, velvety texture at display sizes. The lowercase shows a lively, oldstyle-like rhythm with distinctive, sometimes swashy forms (notably in letters like a, g, y), while caps are broad and imposing with crisp, thin cross-strokes.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short passages where its contrast and width can read clearly and feel intentional. It works well for magazine and fashion contexts, cultural posters, book covers, and brand identities that want a classic serif voice with dramatic emphasis.
The overall tone is confident and theatrical, pairing classical elegance with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence. Its sharp hairlines and generous curves suggest an editorial, fashion-forward mood—formal, but with a hint of flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif for display-led typography, emphasizing elegance through extreme contrast and broad proportions while keeping recognizable, classical letter skeletons. The goal seems to be strong visual impact and a refined editorial feel rather than quiet, utilitarian body text.
In continuous text, the strong thick–thin contrast and wide letterforms create a pronounced, high-ink footprint and a rhythmic sparkle from the hairlines. Numerals appear similarly wide and stylized, matching the display-oriented character of the letters.
