A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Strokes shift quickly from thick to hairline, giving the letters a chiseled, engraved feel, while the bowls stay smooth and rounded. The uppercase shows stately proportions and crisp vertical emphasis; the lowercase is compact with clear, sturdy stems and pronounced bracketing in places. Numerals and punctuation follow the same carved rhythm, with distinctive triangular entry/exit points and strong black shapes that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book covers, pull quotes, posters, and brand marks that need a confident, upscale serif voice. It can work in short paragraphs for editorial display, but its sharp contrast and decorative terminals make it most effective when given room and size.
The overall tone is assertive and refined—luxurious rather than delicate—combining classic serif formality with a slightly theatrical, poster-like edge. Its sharp wedges and bold contrasts suggest premium editorial styling, reminiscent of engraved titles and fashion mastheads.
The font appears designed to deliver a distinctive, premium serif look by combining classical proportions with pronounced wedge serifs and dramatic stroke contrast. The goal seems to be strong shelf impact and a memorable word texture while keeping letterforms recognizable and traditionally grounded.
The design’s personality comes from consistent triangular cuts at terminals and serifs, which create a sparkling texture across words, especially in tight settings. Counters remain fairly open despite the contrast, and the rhythm feels deliberate and architectural in larger text blocks.
