A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and assertive, flaring wedge-like serifs that give strokes a carved, tapering feel. Vertical stems stay crisp while curves and joins show pronounced thick–thin modulation, producing a lively rhythm across words. Proportions are compact and column-friendly, with tightly drawn counters and a generally upright, composed stance. Details like the teardrop/ball terminals and sharp apexes add refinement while keeping the overall texture bold and authoritative at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine titling, book covers, and other display settings where contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and packaging that calls for a refined, premium tone, and for short editorial subheads where a strong typographic voice is desired.
The tone is polished and traditional, with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp contrast and sculpted endings suggest sophistication and ceremony, leaning more toward luxury and editorial voice than casual everyday typography.
The design appears intended to deliver classic serif authority with heightened contrast and sculptural, flared finishing, balancing tradition with a more striking, contemporary editorial presence.
The numerals and capitals read with strong presence, while lowercase forms retain a distinctly drawn, slightly calligraphic energy rather than purely mechanical construction. The overall color on the page is dark and confident, with contrast-driven sparkle in the hairlines.
