A sculpted display serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are wedge-like and often strongly bracketed, creating pointed terminals and crisp entry/exit strokes. The overall silhouette is broad with generous bowls and open counters, while joins and curves feel tensioned and calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms read stately and monumental; lowercase maintains a traditional structure with compact detailing, small apertures in places, and distinctive teardrop-like terminals that add sparkle at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short editorial text where its contrast and pointed detailing can be appreciated. It will work well for fashion and luxury branding, packaging, and poster work, particularly when set large enough to preserve the fine hairlines and delicate terminals.
The font conveys a high-end, editorial tone with a dramatic, fashion-forward contrast. Its sharp serifs and glossy stroke transitions feel formal and cultivated, suggesting luxury branding and magazine typography. The rhythm is confident and assertive, leaning more toward headline sophistication than quiet, utilitarian text setting.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif familiarity while heightening drama through extreme modulation, sharp wedge serifs, and a broad, statuesque presence. It aims to provide a refined, premium voice for display typography that feels both traditional and contemporary in its tension and polish.
Figures are sturdy and highly stylized, with ample contrast and pronounced curves that match the letterforms’ sculpted logic. The round letters (C, G, O, Q) show broad, flowing arcs that emphasize the typeface’s wide stance, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and controlled without becoming spindly. Spacing in the sample text appears set up for impactful display, with dense black shapes balanced by sharp internal highlights.
