A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often end in sharp, wedge-like points that give the outlines a chiseled, high-fashion finish. Capitals are proportionally sturdy with rounded bowls and clean, controlled curves, while lowercase shows compact, teardrop-like counters and a rhythmic, slightly calligraphic stress. Overall spacing reads relatively tight in text, with strong verticals and energetic joins that keep the texture dark and cohesive.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, cover lines, and short-form editorial text where its high-contrast detailing and sharp serifs can read cleanly. It also works well for brand marks, beauty/fashion packaging, invitations, and premium product storytelling where a refined, dramatic voice is desired.
The tone is elegant and dramatic, balancing classic bookish familiarity with a runway/editorial edge. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling convey confidence and sophistication, making it feel premium and attention-grabbing rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif: familiar proportions and readable skeletons paired with amplified contrast and sharpened finishing. The goal seems to be strong visual impact and a polished, luxurious feel in display-forward typography.
The numerals echo the same sculpted contrast and pointed finishing, with curvy forms and fine hairlines that are most successful at display sizes. The sample text shows a bold, inky color on the page, producing a dense typographic texture that emphasizes shape and rhythm over airy openness.
