A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, sculpted rhythm across text. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with occasional flicked terminals that introduce a subtle calligraphic edge. The uppercase shows generous widths and confident proportions, while the lowercase uses compact counters and lively joins that keep the texture dense and assertive. Numerals follow the same tension between thin and thick, with rounded forms and pronounced contrast that reads best at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also fits editorial identities, fashion and lifestyle branding, and premium packaging where a classic-but-bold serif voice is needed. Use with comfortable tracking and sizes that preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing traditional bookish structure with fashion-forward sharpness. Its sweeping terminals and glossy contrast lend a sense of luxury and ceremony, making even straightforward copy feel curated and intentional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a contemporary take on a classic text serif: traditional proportions and bracketing paired with heightened contrast and expressive terminals for stronger impact in display typography.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and narrow internal spaces create a dark, punchy color that can look striking in display settings but may feel heavy in long passages at smaller sizes. The design’s distinctive terminals and bracketing give it a recognizable personality without becoming overly decorative.
