A high-contrast serif with expansive proportions and a strongly sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes transition abruptly from hairline to heavy, with crisp, triangular terminals and small bracketed serifs that read as finely cut rather than rounded. The letterforms keep a steady upright stance, while the wide set and prominent horizontals create a confident, poster-like rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic in their modulation, giving bowls and joins a carved, faceted character.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where its contrast and width can provide impact and elegance. It can work well for magazine covers, cultural posters, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with heightened drama. For longer reading, it benefits from generous size and spacing to keep the sharp hairlines and internal counters clear.
The overall tone is formal and theatrical, blending classic bookish authority with fashion-editorial punch. Its sharp terminals and big, inky main strokes feel luxurious and attention-seeking, lending a sense of prestige and ceremony rather than everyday neutrality.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a traditional serif model with amplified contrast, widened proportions, and sharpened terminals for modern display use. It aims to deliver a refined, premium presence while remaining recognizably conventional in structure and spacing.
In text, the strong contrast and pointed details become a defining texture, especially in diagonals (V/W/X) and in letters with spurs and tails (Q, J, y). The numerals share the same dramatic modulation and crisp finishing, keeping the set cohesive and display-forward.
