A sculpted display serif with sharp wedge-like serifs and pronounced modulation between thick verticals and hairline connections. The strokes feel chiseled, with bracketed transitions that flare into terminals and create deep, dark silhouettes at larger sizes. Capitals are tall and stately, while the lowercase shows compact, weighty bowls and pronounced entry/exit shaping; counters are relatively tight, increasing the ink presence. The design mixes crisp triangular finishing with rounded, swelling curves, producing a rhythmic alternation of strong stems and delicate links across both letters and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, magazine spreads, and other prominent editorial settings where contrast and sculpted detail can be appreciated. It can work for branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic voice, and for book or film titles that need dramatic presence; for long body text, it will feel heavy and visually assertive.
The overall tone is theatrical and high-end, suggesting tradition with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast read as confident and attention-seeking, lending a sense of ceremony and prestige rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif voice with flared, wedge-like finishing that heightens impact at display sizes. It prioritizes strong silhouette, elegant modulation, and a curated, editorial character over understated utility.
The texture in paragraphs is dense and strongly patterned, with noticeable stroke contrast creating sparkle along hairlines and heavy vertical emphasis. The numerals and capitals have a poster-like authority, while the lowercase introduces more curvature and quirky joins that add personality without becoming informal.
