A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like terminals that read as subtly flared at the ends of stems. Serifs are firm and bracketed in feel, with pointed beak details and sharp inside joins that create a chiseled, high-definition texture. The capitals are stately and slightly narrow in presence, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a sturdy, vertical rhythm; the overall color is dense and assertive without becoming muddy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing strong stems with fine connecting strokes and crisp finishing cuts.
Best suited to headlines, cover lines, and short-to-medium editorial text where its contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated. It works well for fashion and culture magazines, book and album covers, premium branding, and posters that benefit from a confident, classical voice.
The tone is formal and dramatic, evoking classic editorial typography with a polished, luxury edge. Its high-contrast sparkle and sharp finishing details convey authority and ceremony, making text feel deliberate and elevated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize classical serif proportions with flared, wedge-like finishing and strong contrast for a refined display presence. It prioritizes impact and elegance, delivering a distinctive editorial texture and clear hierarchy for titles and prominent typography.
In paragraph settings the font produces a lively, shimmering rhythm as thin hairlines alternate with heavy stems; this gives strong hierarchy in display sizes. The sharp terminals and tight apertures can make extended passages feel intense at smaller sizes, but they also add distinctive character and emphasis in headings.
