A high-contrast serif with a wide stance and crisp, flared stroke endings that give many terminals a tapered, chiseled look. Stems alternate between very thick verticals and hairline joins, producing strong modulation and a glossy, engraved rhythm. Serifs are small and sharp with wedge-like entry/exit points, and bowls show smooth, controlled curvature with occasional angular nicks where strokes transition. Uppercase forms feel stately and expansive, while the lowercase keeps a balanced x-height with pronounced contrast and sturdy, weighty main strokes that hold up in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and brand identities where a refined, high-contrast serif can carry a premium voice. It also fits packaging, invitations, and prominent titling where crisp hairlines and sculpted terminals can be reproduced cleanly.
The overall tone is polished and commanding, leaning into fashion and editorial sophistication. The razor-thin hairlines and sculpted terminals add drama and a sense of exclusivity, while the traditional proportions keep it anchored in classic, formal typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, luxe take on a classic serif by amplifying contrast and using flared, tapered endings for a carved, couture-like finish. Its wide proportions and bold thick strokes suggest a focus on impactful display typography with an elegant, editorial presence.
The face favors large sizes where the hairlines and flared terminals can remain clear, and its wide proportions create generous internal space in round letters. Numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted construction, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture across mixed text and headings.
