A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals that often flare as strokes resolve. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with a chiseled, engraved quality rather than blunt slabs. Curves (notably in O/C/G and the bowls of a/b/d/p) show tight, controlled transitions into heavy verticals, while diagonals in V/W/X have a knife-like refinement. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a two-storey g, a pointed, calligraphic ear on several letters, and compact joins that maintain a dense, high-contrast rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and flare can be appreciated. It can elevate fashion, beauty, and cultural branding, as well as premium packaging and event collateral. In longer passages it works best at larger sizes with comfortable leading to preserve hairline clarity.
The overall tone is elevated and theatrical, pairing classical sophistication with a fashion-forward edge. Its dramatic contrast and sharp finishing details create a sense of ceremony and exclusivity, suitable for statements that should feel premium and intentional.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a refined, high-contrast serif voice with contemporary sharpness—combining classical proportions with flared, calligraphic finishing to create impactful display typography.
The design reads best when given room: counters can appear delicate at smaller sizes due to the hairline strokes, while the heavier verticals provide strong anchoring. Numerals share the same sculpted contrast and crisp endings, giving them a display-oriented presence that matches the capitals.
