A high-contrast serif with broad proportions and a strongly sculpted, chiseled feel. Strokes transition abruptly from thick verticals to hairline joins, with crisp, pointed terminals and compact bracketed serifs that often end in sharp beak-like tips. Curves are generous and round (notably in O/C/G), while diagonals and joins are taut and angular, creating a lively rhythm. Lowercase forms show a double-storey a, a bowl-heavy g with a distinctive ear, and an energetic f with a long rightward crossbar; numerals are similarly high-contrast with pronounced, elegant curves.
Best suited to display and editorial applications such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, premium branding, and poster typography where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short text passages at comfortable sizes, but the fine hairlines and pointed terminals suggest it will perform most confidently with ample size and good reproduction.
The font reads as assertive and refined, with an editorial, high-fashion tone. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast give it a stately, headline-forward presence, evoking classic print typography with a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama: wide, authoritative letterforms paired with razor-thin connections and crisp, elegant finishing strokes. It balances traditional readability cues with display-centric flourish for impactful typographic hierarchy.
In text, the weight and contrast create strong word shapes and a dark overall color, while the wide set and sharp terminals keep it crisp rather than heavy. The ampersand is large and decorative, matching the font’s expressive, display-leaning character even when used in paragraph settings.
