A display-leaning serif with extreme thick–thin modulation and tightly drawn, sculptural letterforms. Serifs are sharp and finely tapered, often flaring into wedge-like terminals, with crisp joins and a polished, engraved feel. Counters tend toward oval and slightly condensed interiors relative to the broad overall width, producing a punchy black-and-white rhythm. Uppercase forms read stately and formal, while lowercase shows more idiosyncratic shaping (notably in curved letters and the ear/terminals), giving text a lively, calligraphic sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and large-format editorial typography where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding, packaging, and fashion or cultural posters that benefit from a refined, authoritative serif presence.
The tone is confident and high-end, mixing classical bookish authority with fashion-editorial drama. The sharp, glittering hairlines and emphatic strokes create a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the lively lowercase details add personality and a slightly theatrical edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-contrast serif voice with classical roots—prioritizing elegance, impact, and typographic texture in display settings while retaining conventional serif structure for familiar readability.
In the sample text, the dense weight and hairline delicacy create strong texture and pronounced vertical rhythm; spacing appears comfortable for headlines, but the fine hairlines and sharp terminals suggest better performance at larger sizes than in small body copy. Numerals match the overall contrast and serif treatment, maintaining the same formal, display-forward character.
