This typeface presents a sculpted serif design with striking thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that often flare as strokes finish. Vertical stems are robust while hairlines are extremely fine, producing a sharp, high-tension rhythm across words. Serifs tend toward triangular, chiseled forms rather than flat brackets, and many joins feel calligraphic, as if cut with a broad, angled tool. Proportions lean compact and sturdy in the capitals, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish structure with clear counters and a firm baseline presence.
Best suited for display typography such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, posters, and brand marks where contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short bursts of text in editorial layouts, but its thin hairlines suggest giving it sufficient size, spacing, and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, balancing classical print sensibilities with a modern, fashion-forward edge. Its crisp points and pronounced contrast give it a confident, premium voice that feels suited to curated, high-attention settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a luxurious, print-classical impression through extreme contrast and flared, wedge-like finishing strokes, creating memorable word shapes for high-impact typography.
The design emphasizes strong silhouettes: letters like A, V, W, X, and Y show sharp internal angles and pointed terminals, while round letters carry a pronounced stress that heightens the engraved, editorial feel. Numerals match the same chiseled language, with distinctive diagonals and tapered curves that keep figures lively and assertive.
