A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a sculpted, flared feel where strokes broaden into tapered, wedge-like endings. Serifs are sharp and strongly bracketed, with crisp terminals that create a carved, print-like texture. Capitals are broad and steady, with prominent vertical stress and confident, blocky proportions, while the lowercase keeps a traditional structure and moderate x-height. Curves (C, G, O, S) show clear contrast and tight joins, and the numerals follow the same display-forward rhythm with emphatic weight changes and sharp finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine features, book or album covers, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short pulls, deck copy, and packaging that benefits from a formal, premium tone, while longer text will likely need generous size and spacing to keep the sharp details from crowding.
The overall tone is assertive and elegant, combining a classic editorial seriousness with a dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its strong contrast and chiseled details read as premium and formal, with a slightly theatrical presence suited to attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, chiseled stroke endings for maximum impact. It prioritizes striking silhouette and luxurious texture, aiming for an editorial display style that feels traditional yet emphatically bold.
At text sizes the dense color and sharp joins create a bold, poster-like texture; at larger sizes the distinctive flaring and bracketed transitions become the main character. Round letters maintain a refined tension between thick verticals and hairline-like thins, giving headlines a crisp, engraved impression.
