A bold, high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are broad and steady, with sculpted curves and tight, pointed transitions where strokes meet, creating a faceted rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, readable structure but add stylized details—sharper terminals, occasional ball-like ends, and slightly sheared stress in rounded letters—while maintaining a consistent baseline and sturdy verticals. Numerals follow the same carved, editorial sensibility, pairing weighty stems with fine hairline cut-ins and tapered terminals.
Best suited to display contexts such as magazine headlines, editorial pulls, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short lead-in paragraphs or deck copy when generous size and spacing are available, especially in layouts aiming for an elevated, print-like voice.
The overall tone is confident and upscale, combining classical bookish authority with a modern, fashion-forward bite. Its sharp contrasts and chiseled terminals feel dramatic and polished, suited to statements that want to read as refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing for contemporary editorial impact. It prioritizes presence and refinement, using carved terminals and assertive proportions to create a distinctive, premium headline texture.
In text, the heavy stems and strong contrast create a bold texture with noticeable internal counters and sharp highlight shapes in curves (notably in O/C/G/S). The distinctive terminals and deep joins add personality, which can amplify headlines and short passages but may become visually intense at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
