A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, sculpted wedge-like serifs. Stems are largely vertical and steady, while joins and curves show a subtle calligraphic influence, producing tapered terminals and occasional pointed details. The lowercase has a relatively tall x-height with compact counters and a slightly condensed, upright rhythm, giving lines of text a bold, editorial texture. Numerals and capitals keep the same sharp, elegant stroke behavior, with narrow apertures and confident, display-oriented proportions.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, fashion and beauty branding, premium packaging, and poster work that benefits from a refined yet attention-grabbing serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, combining classic sophistication with a slightly unconventional, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp transitions and dark rhythm feel confident and premium, suited to high-impact typography that still reads as refined rather than playful.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a luxurious, high-contrast editorial look with distinctive, chiseled serifs and a compact, authoritative text color. The tall lowercase proportions suggest an intent to maintain presence and readability in display and larger text settings while preserving a sophisticated, crafted character.
The design’s contrast and tight internal spaces create strong color on the page, especially in continuous text, where the rhythm becomes dense and assertive. Curved letters show clear stress and controlled flare, reinforcing a crafted, engraved-like finish without becoming overly ornate.
