A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings. The letterforms feel tightly drawn with sharp apexes and tapered joins, while bowls and shoulders are rounded yet controlled. Serifs read as bracketed and often wedge-like, reinforcing a carved, calligraphic rhythm. Proportions lean compact in the lowercase with firm vertical stress, and the numerals follow the same engraved, display-forward contrast.
Best used for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, brand marks, and premium packaging where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text—subheads or decks—when set with comfortable leading and not too small.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical bookish authority with a fashion/editorial edge. Its sharp details and emphatic contrast give it a confident, premium voice that feels well suited to headlines and statements rather than quiet utility.
The design appears intended to deliver an elegant, high-impact serif with flared details and a carved, print-centric texture. Its forms prioritize presence and sophistication, aiming for a contemporary editorial feel rooted in classical contrast and serif construction.
In text, the strong contrast and narrow interior spaces create a dense, punchy color on the page. The uppercase has a dignified presence with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows distinctive serifed entries and pointed finishing strokes that add sparkle at larger sizes.
