A sculpted serif with heavy vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines, producing a distinctly high-contrast, chiseled look. Serifs are bracketed and flare into pointed, wedge-like terminals, while curves are tightly drawn with crisp joins and small internal counters in letters like a, e, and s. The lowercase shows a traditional, two-storey a and g, plus occasional ball terminals and teardrop-like details (notably on g and y), adding a touch of calligraphic motion. Overall spacing feels deliberate and slightly compact in the counters, with strong vertical emphasis and clear, authoritative silhouette in both capitals and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titles, pull quotes, and cover typography where high contrast and sharp serifs can deliver impact. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used with generous tracking and adequate size. For longer text, it will generally perform better in larger point sizes or display-led layouts where the tight counters remain clear.
The tone is polished and emphatic, combining a classical editorial voice with a slightly theatrical, poster-like presence. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast create a sense of luxury and seriousness, while the rounded terminals and expressive lowercase details keep it from feeling austere.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and stylized terminals for attention-grabbing display use. It aims to project tradition and authority while adding a refined, contemporary sharpness through tapered strokes and pointed serifs.
The numerals echo the same contrast and serif treatment, with curvy figures (notably 3, 5, 6, 9) that read as decorative yet controlled. In text settings, the dense strokes and small counters create strong color and impact, favoring shorter passages and larger sizes where the detailing can breathe.
