A sculpted serif with pronounced vertical stress and sharply tapered hairlines, paired with thick, stable main strokes. Serifs read as wedge-like and slightly flared, with smooth bracketing that helps connect the strokes into cohesive, chiseled forms. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, O, and S), while terminals often finish in crisp points or fine beaks, creating a lively, high-contrast rhythm. The lowercase shows compact, sturdy joins and clear modulation, with a two-storey “g” and a crisp, slightly angular “k” and “v/w” structure that reinforces the carved, editorial feel.
Best suited for headlines, decks, and short passages in editorial layouts, fashion and beauty communication, and premium brand identities. It can work for pull quotes, packaging, and event materials where a dramatic serif voice is desired, and it benefits from comfortable sizing and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, balancing classical elegance with a modern, fashion-forward sharpness. Its strong contrast and pointed details give it a dramatic, premium voice suited to refined, attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif foundation with heightened contrast and flared, tapered finishing strokes, producing a striking display texture. It aims for an upscale, print-minded presence that feels carved and deliberate, prioritizing visual impact and elegance in titles and prominent text.
Numerals and capitals feel especially display-oriented, with ample interior space in rounded letters and expressive, knife-like apertures in forms such as S and Z. In text lines the weight and contrast create a distinctly patterned texture, favoring larger sizes where the hairlines and sharp terminals can remain clear.
