A display-oriented serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that create strong internal contrast in counters and apertures. Proportions are compact and weighty, with a rhythmic, slightly irregular flare in curves and diagonals that gives the letterforms a carved, high-impact presence. Numerals share the same bold silhouettes and tapered detailing, reading clearly at headline sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short text where the contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine and book display typography, luxury-leaning branding, packaging, and poster work where a classic yet attention-grabbing serif is needed.
The overall tone is commanding and theatrical, combining a traditional editorial voice with a polished, high-end edge. Its sharp serifs and dramatic modulation suggest prestige and formality, while the energetic curves keep it from feeling overly static.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened drama: strong thick–thin strokes, crisp wedge serifs, and compact proportions tuned for standout display typography. It prioritizes striking rhythm and visual authority over quiet, continuous reading.
Round letters (like O and Q) show taut, asymmetric stress and tapered transitions that amplify the sense of motion. The lowercase includes distinctive, sturdy shapes with prominent serifed feet and pronounced joins, supporting impactful word silhouettes in short bursts of text.
