A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline joins. Serifs are bracketed and often end in tapered, wedge-like points, giving strokes a carved, chiseled finish rather than blunt terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, rounded counters and distinctive teardrop/ball-like terminals on letters such as a, c, f, j, r, and y. Numerals are similarly high-contrast and display-like, with strong curves and delicate connecting strokes that demand clean reproduction at size.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and editorial layouts where its high-contrast modeling can shine. It also fits branding, packaging, and event materials that benefit from a refined, dramatic serif voice, especially in larger sizes or well-printed applications.
The overall tone is luxurious and editorial, balancing classical bookish cues with a dramatic, fashion-forward sharpness. Its crisp hairlines and sculpted terminals read as confident and formal, with a slightly theatrical flair suited to high-impact typography.
Likely designed to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif for display and editorial use, combining classical proportions with sharpened terminals and elegant ball details for strong visual personality.
The design relies on fine internal joins and hairline details that can visually soften or fill in at smaller sizes or on low-resolution output, while remaining striking in large settings. Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize sweeping curves and deep contrast, creating a rhythmic, poster-like texture in paragraphs and headlines.
