A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered wedge serifs and crisp, knife-like terminals. Strokes swing from very thin hairlines to heavy verticals, creating a pronounced “Didone-meets-wedge” tension, while the overall stance remains upright and stable. The letterforms are broad and generously set, with smooth curves, tight apertures in places, and pointed joins that give many glyphs a faceted, carved feel. Capitals look monumental and wide, and the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact counters and strong thick–thin rhythm that reads best at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, magazine layouts, and brand marks where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can add a premium, fashion-forward tone to packaging and promotional materials, and works especially well in large sizes or short, impactful lines.
The font projects a polished, editorial tone with a theatrical edge—refined and upscale, but also assertive due to its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast. It feels suited to fashion, culture, and premium branding contexts where elegance and impact are both desired.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif sophistication while heightening drama through extreme contrast and wedge-like, sculpted terminals. Its wide proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on display and editorial presence rather than unobtrusive body text.
Several shapes emphasize angularity over softness: diagonals and crotches terminate in pointed wedges, and round letters show pronounced contrast and slightly pinched transitions. The numerals follow the same sculpted logic, with thin entry strokes and bold main stems that keep the set visually consistent in headlines.
