A sculpted serif with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The strokes terminate in crisp, bracketed serifs and fine, needle-like hairlines, creating an inky headline presence with sharp internal apertures. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty with carved-looking counters, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height and lively, slightly varied proportions. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive curves and pointed joins that read best at larger sizes.
This font excels in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It’s well suited to magazine layouts, fashion and beauty branding, cultural posters, and premium packaging where a confident, high-end tone is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and refined, combining classic bookish authority with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. Its high-contrast modeling and dark massing convey drama and polish, suited to premium and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional proportions and serif structure amplified with dramatic contrast and crisp finishing for standout display use.
Round letters show clear vertical stress and tight, controlled counters, which heightens contrast and gives a chiseled look. The heavier stems and delicate hairlines create a striking texture in setting, but the fine details and sharp joins suggest it will be most effective when not pushed too small.
