A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flaring strokes and crisp wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show strong thick–thin modulation with pronounced hairlines, tight joins, and pointed terminals that give a chiseled, slightly calligraphic profile. Counters are relatively compact and the curves feel tensioned, with a rhythmic alternation of heavy verticals and fine connecting strokes. Lowercase has compact proportions and sturdy bowls, while capitals read tall and stately with clean, sharp finishing details.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine typography, and premium branding where the sharp contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages at comfortable sizes in print-oriented layouts, especially where a refined, high-impact serif is desired.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, balancing classic bookish authority with fashion-forward sharpness. Its crisp terminals and dramatic contrast create a sense of prestige and formality, making the voice feel confident and attention-grabbing rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end serif voice by combining classical proportions with aggressively sculpted contrast and flared, wedge-like serifs. It prioritizes strong presence and elegance, aiming for distinctive silhouettes and striking detail in display and editorial use.
In longer text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a lively shimmer and strong word-shape definition, especially in mixed case. Numerals appear similarly stylized, with elegant curves and pointed finishing strokes that align with the serif treatment across the alphabet.
