This typeface is a sharply contrasted serif with sturdy vertical stems and hairline-thin joins and cross-strokes. Serifs are small and flared, often wedge-like and subtly bracketed, giving a carved, sculptural feel at the ends of strokes. Curves are generous and round, with tight internal counters in letters like a, e, and s, while capitals show broad, confident forms and strong modulation. Terminals frequently resolve into pointed or teardrop shapes, and the overall rhythm alternates between thick masses and crisp, delicate hairlines for a distinctly punchy texture.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other display settings where contrast and sculpted serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for premium branding and packaging, especially when set with ample spacing and high-quality reproduction.
The overall tone is refined and theatrical, combining classic bookish credibility with a fashion-forward edge. Its high-drama contrast and crisp finishing details suggest elegance, confidence, and a slightly baroque sense of display.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary display serif built on classic, calligraphic contrast, emphasizing striking silhouettes and refined finishing for high-impact typography.
In the text sample the bold dark stems create a strong page color, while the hairlines remain visible enough to add sparkle rather than disappear. Numerals share the same high-contrast, sculpted construction, and rounded letters (O, Q, 0) read especially iconic due to the thick-to-thin sweep.
