A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, sharp tapered joins, and finely cut bracketed serifs. Strokes often end in triangular or wedge-like terminals, with occasional ball terminals on lowercase forms, creating a distinctly sculpted, calligraphic finish. Proportions lean broad with roomy counters and a steady, upright stance; capitals feel substantial and statuesque, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and clear internal space. Overall texture is dark and emphatic, with crisp hairlines that add sparkle against the heavy stems.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and other editorial or promotional typography where contrast and strong silhouette are assets. It can work for short passages at generous sizes and spacing, but its dark color and delicate hairlines make it most convincing in display-led layouts.
The font conveys an editorial, fashion-forward elegance with a dramatic, assertive voice. Its contrast and sharpened terminals suggest refinement and ceremony, while the bold presence reads confident and attention-seeking in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif: combining classic bookish proportions with sharpened, fashion-oriented terminals and a bold, attention-grabbing texture for modern editorial and brand applications.
In paragraphs the heavy weight produces a dense typographic color, and the thin hairlines create a lively shimmer that becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same engraved, wedge-terminal character, reinforcing a cohesive, formal tone across text and titling.
