A crisp display serif with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems are robust and vertical, while hairline connections and tapered terminals create a sculpted, chiseled feel. The capitals are stately and slightly condensed in impression, with strong vertical rhythm and generous interior counters in rounded forms. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls (notably in a, b, d, p, q) and a conventional two-storey structure where applicable, with punctuation-like dots that read as firm, circular marks. Numerals are bold and shaped with the same calligraphic contrast, producing a confident, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It fits magazine and editorial design, luxury branding, cultural posters, and packaging that benefits from a refined, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and theatrical, combining editorial seriousness with a fashion-forward sheen. Its dramatic contrast and sharp serifs communicate authority and elegance, leaning toward a premium, high-impact voice rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif structure with heightened contrast and modern, clean cutting for impactful display typography. It prioritizes elegant tension between heavy verticals and delicate hairlines to create a premium, attention-grabbing typographic color.
At text sizes the heavy verticals and fine hairlines create a lively, sparkling edge, while in larger settings the crisp serifs and wedge-like strokes become a defining graphic feature. The design maintains consistent contrast and terminal logic across letters and figures, yielding a cohesive, formal rhythm.
