A strongly modulated serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, sharp finishing. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a slightly calligraphic stress that shows up in the rounded letters and the tapered joins. Counters tend toward compact, and many forms feature teardrop or ball-like terminals (notably in lowercase), giving the face a sculpted, high-impact texture. Proportions lean classical with sturdy capitals, a compact lowercase rhythm, and figures that read as oldstyle (with varying heights and extenders).
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where high contrast and a strong typographic voice are desirable. It can work for book and magazine titles, luxury or cultural branding, and packaging where a classic serif look needs extra punch. For longer reading, it will favor generous sizing and comfortable spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, combining traditional book-serif familiarity with a more theatrical, fashion-like intensity. Its sharp contrast and polished details convey sophistication and authority, while the rounded terminals add a touch of warmth and personality.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text-serif foundation with sharper contrast and expressive terminal detailing, yielding a confident display-ready face that still feels rooted in classic letterforms.
At text sizes the dense color and tight internal spaces create a rich, emphatic paragraph tone, while at display sizes the refined hairlines and pointed serifs become the main character. The italic is not shown; the displayed style maintains a consistent upright stance with lively, slightly calligraphic detailing.
