A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like bracketed serifs and sharply tapered joins. Thick verticals dominate while hairline horizontals and terminals create a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth but cut with pointed spur details (notably in S, J, and the diagonals), and counters are relatively generous, giving the heavy weight some air. The overall rhythm is display-forward: strong stems, pronounced flare at stress transitions, and distinctive triangular cut-ins at stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where contrast and detail can be appreciated at size. It works well for magazine layouts, luxury branding, beauty/fashion campaigns, book covers, and premium packaging where a refined but attention-grabbing serif is needed.
The tone is polished and assertive, pairing elegance with a slightly theatrical sharpness. Its crisp hairlines and chiseled terminals evoke fashion and editorial typography, where contrast and silhouette carry the voice as much as the letterforms themselves.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic text-serif foundation into a high-impact display voice through extreme contrast, sharp wedge terminals, and a tightly controlled, editorial rhythm.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental due to the weight distribution and broad proportions, while lowercase maintains a traditional structure with compact, sturdy bowls and pointed terminals. Numerals mirror the same contrast and sculpted finishing, with curvy figures (2, 3, 5) showing pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp entry/exit strokes.
