A high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Thick stems and hairline connections create a lively black-and-white rhythm, with sharp inner notches and clean, decisive terminals. Capitals are broad and stately, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with tight apertures and occasional ball terminals (notably on forms like the ‘a’/‘f’). Numerals and punctuation follow the same chiseled, high-contrast logic, producing a polished, print-forward texture at display sizes.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where the contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It also suits magazine design, book covers, and brand wordmarks that want a traditional serif voice with heightened drama and polish.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, high-fashion sparkle that reads as confident and refined. Its strong contrast and sculpted details add a sense of ceremony and authority, making it feel suited to premium, curated contexts rather than casual utility.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more theatrical, high-contrast finish—optimized for impactful typography in editorial and display settings where elegance and presence matter.
At larger sizes the hairline transitions and sharp serifs become a distinctive signature, while at smaller sizes the narrow counters and fine joins may require generous sizing and comfortable leading to keep the text from looking dense.
