A high-contrast serif with prominent bracketed serifs and sharply tapered joins that create a sculpted, calligraphic rhythm. The weight distribution is strongly vertical, with thick main stems and hairline cross-strokes and terminals, producing crisp counters and pronounced flare where strokes meet serifs. Proportions feel generous and sturdy in caps, while the lowercase shows compact internal spaces in letters like a, e, and s, and a slightly pinched, stylized construction in g and k. Numerals are similarly bold and curvy, with rounded bowls and fine hairline connections that reinforce the dramatic thick–thin pattern.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and display typography where its high contrast and strong serifs can read cleanly and feel intentional. It fits editorial design, magazine branding, book covers, and posters that benefit from a classic yet punchy serif presence. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headings where a dark, formal texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with an assertive, high-fashion contrast that reads as premium and authoritative. Its sharp details and sculpted curves give it a slightly theatrical, headline-forward personality while still staying within a conventional serif voice. The texture on the page feels dark, confident, and deliberate—more suited to impact than understatement.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with elevated contrast and a more sculptural, fashion-forward finish. Its emphasis on sharp thick–thin transitions and bracketed serifs suggests a focus on impactful display use while retaining familiar, readable letterforms for editorial contexts.
In running text at large sizes the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dense typographic color. The serif treatment stays consistent across the set, with confident brackets and tapered terminals that maintain a refined, print-like finish.
