This serif features sharply carved, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates a crisp, sculptural texture on the page. Capitals are wide and stately with wedge-like terminals and smooth, swelling curves (notably in C, G, S, and O), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y taper to fine points. Lowercase forms maintain a traditional structure with compact bowls and clear joins; the g is double-storey and the e has a strong horizontal bar. Numerals are similarly high-contrast with distinctive curves and sharp finishing, producing an overall refined, high-impact rhythm in both display lines and larger text settings.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and magazine-style typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also suit premium branding, packaging, and event materials, especially when set at moderate to large sizes for maximum clarity and impact.
The overall tone is elegant and high-drama, with a fashion/editorial polish and a distinctly classical sensibility. The sharp terminals and sweeping curves lend a confident, premium voice that feels suited to prestige branding and headline-led layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and finely finished details, emphasizing elegance and authority. Its forms prioritize a striking silhouette and refined rhythm for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Spacing in the sample text reads tight and cohesive, with strong vertical strokes forming an assertive typographic color. Round letters show controlled, slightly calligraphic stress, and several glyphs use ball-like terminals and pointed beaks to heighten the sense of sharpness and refinement.
