A heavy, sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp wedge-like, bracketed serifs. Letterforms feel wide and confident, with rounded bowls that are cut by sharp, triangular notches and tapered terminals, creating a faceted, chiseled look. Curves and straight stems alternate with strong, high-contrast joins, and the overall rhythm is bold and headline-forward while remaining anchored in traditional serif construction.
Best suited to display typography where its contrast and sharp internal cuts can be appreciated—magazine headlines, poster titles, brand marks, and premium packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes, but the dense weight and tight counters suggest avoiding small sizes or long passages.
The tone is theatrical and editorial, mixing classical authority with a slightly flamboyant, fashion-minded edge. It reads as premium and attention-seeking, with dramatic contrast and sharp details that add a sense of showmanship and prestige.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through dramatic contrast and sculpted, wedge-serif detailing, offering a classic serif foundation with heightened, attention-grabbing styling for contemporary editorial and branding applications.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the a) and compact counters that emphasize the dark color on the page. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with pointed wedges and tapered strokes, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented texture.
