A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairline connections, creating a strongly calligraphic, engraved feel. The serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with crisp terminals that stay clean even where strokes pinch in. Capitals are stately and broad-shouldered with generous curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase shows a compact, sturdy rhythm with prominent joins and a relatively high waist on forms like a, e, and s. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and wedge-like finishing, giving a cohesive, display-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the dramatic contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It works particularly well for magazine design, book covers, fashion and beauty branding, and premium packaging, and can also serve as a strong typographic voice for posters and campaign art.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a sense of luxury and drama driven by the razor-thin hairlines and weighty verticals. It reads as confident and established, evoking classic print culture—magazines, book jackets, and refined brand language—rather than casual or utilitarian typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-end take on traditional text serifs: substantial vertical weight for authority paired with fine hairlines for elegance. Its consistent contrast and refined finishing suggest a focus on impactful display typography that still retains conventional proportions and readable letterforms.
In text settings the heavy stems create strong word shapes and a dark, polished color, while the very thin strokes add sparkle and refinement at larger sizes. The italics are not shown; the available forms presented emphasize upright, high-contrast Roman construction with carefully controlled curves and tight interior apertures in several lowercase letters.
