A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are compact and often sharply pointed, with subtle bracketing that helps the heavy stems transition into thin hairlines. The capitals feel wide and stately with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact counters and lively, calligraphic turns—especially in the ear, beaks, and curved joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, producing a dense, authoritative color in text and a striking silhouette at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine typography, and editorial layouts where contrast and sculpted serifs can carry a page. It can also support branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic voice, and works effectively for short passages such as pull quotes, decks, and titling where its rhythmic sparkle is an asset.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, pairing classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward punch. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast give it a confident, high-end feel that reads as editorial and expressive rather than quiet or purely utilitarian.
Likely intended as a contemporary, high-contrast serif that blends traditional proportions with sharper, more graphic terminals to deliver a luxurious, attention-grabbing presence. The design emphasizes strong vertical structure and sculpted curves to perform as a statement face while retaining familiar serif conventions.
In the text sample the rhythm is emphatic, with dark verticals and thin connecting strokes creating a sparkling texture in curves and diagonals. The design’s pointed serifs and narrow hairlines make spacing and line breaks feel visually pronounced, which can be used to add drama in headlines and pull quotes.
