A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are broad and sculpted, with swelling stems, tight joins, and pointed terminals that create crisp internal counters. Curves feel carved and slightly angular in places, giving bowls and shoulders a faceted, poster-ready presence, while the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional structure with lively, assertive details.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and silhouette can work at larger sizes. It can also support branding for fashion, arts, and hospitality, particularly when you want a classic serif voice with extra drama and presence.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, mixing refined elegance with a bold, vintage editorial punch. Its sharp tapers and dramatic contrast lend a sense of fashion, theatre, and classic display typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation amplified for display use, emphasizing high contrast, flared serifs, and sculptural curves to produce strong, memorable shapes. It prioritizes impact and style while keeping familiar serif proportions for legibility in short passages.
In text, the strong contrast and flared serifs create a shimmering rhythm and distinctive word shapes, especially in round letters and diagonals. Numerals and capitals read as monumental and graphic, with distinctive silhouettes that emphasize impact over subtlety at smaller sizes.
