A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation: stout vertical stems meet hairline horizontals and razor-thin serifs. The serifs are finely bracketed and often taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals, giving many letters a crisp, chiseled finish. Bowls and curves are rounded yet tense, with narrow joins and pronounced thick–thin transitions, while overall proportions feel expansive with generous widths and open counters. In text, the rhythm alternates between bold structural strokes and delicate connecting strokes, producing a lively, editorial texture rather than a purely even book face.
This design performs best at display sizes for headlines, magazine typography, and brand-led layouts where sharp contrast can print or render cleanly. It also suits posters, covers, and identity work that needs a refined, upscale voice; for continuous small text, it will look most successful with ample size and comfortable spacing.
The tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classical elegance with a slightly theatrical, couture sensibility. It reads as premium and attention-grabbing, suited to settings where contrast and refinement signal prestige.
The font appears designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, prioritizing elegance and visual drama for editorial and branding contexts. Its wide proportions and crisp hairlines suggest an emphasis on striking, stylish presence in prominent typographic roles.
Uppercase forms show confident, monumental geometry (notably in O, Q, and M) while lowercase includes distinctive, stylized details such as the looped two-storey g and the sharply finished a and s. Numerals share the same flamboyant contrast and tapered terminals, helping headings and pull-quote figures stand out.
