A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. The letterforms show generous bowls and strong vertical stems, with smooth, calligraphic swelling at joins and terminals. Uppercase proportions feel broad and commanding, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with rounded counters and slightly dynamic, angled stress. Numerals echo the same high-contrast construction, mixing sturdy stems with elegant curves for a cohesive, display-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the high contrast and sculpted serifs can read clearly. It’s a strong fit for magazine and editorial design, cultural posters, and book-cover typography, and can work for short passages when set with comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, combining classical serif tradition with a showy, high-fashion confidence. It reads as refined and premium, with enough sharpness and contrast to feel assertive and slightly theatrical in headlines.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and a fashion-forward edge, emphasizing elegance, impact, and distinctive detail in display typography.
Distinctive, curled or hooked terminals appear in several lowercase forms, adding personality without breaking the conventional serif framework. The text sample shows strong word shapes and a dense, dark color at larger sizes, where the contrast and pointed serifs become a primary visual feature.
