A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and heavy, sculpted stems. Serifs are small and refined, often wedge-like and lightly bracketed, creating crisp terminals that feel cut rather than rounded. Curves are broad and polished, with tight joins and pointed interior corners in places, giving counters a chiseled, ink-trap-like sparkle at larger sizes. Proportions lean generously wide with steady caps and a slightly compact lowercase rhythm, producing an assertive, poster-ready color.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine mastheads, pull quotes, and branding where high contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It will also work well for premium packaging and event materials, especially in large sizes with generous tracking and clean printing.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical, pairing classic bookish formality with a contemporary, fashion-forward edge. The extreme contrast and sharp detailing convey prestige and drama, suitable for statements where typographic presence is part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized classic serif voice: traditional structure with intensified contrast and sharpened details to heighten impact. It aims for a refined, high-end feel that reads confidently in short texts and prominent titles.
Round letters like O and Q read as smooth, glossy ovals with hairline transitions, while diagonals in V/W/X show crisp, blade-like joins. Numerals echo the same contrast and flared finishing, looking most confident when given space and size.
