A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, creating crisp terminals and a sculpted, engraved feel. The letterforms show a lively rhythm with slightly calligraphic stress, rounded bowls, and confident vertical stems; joins and curves are cut cleanly, giving strong light–dark patterning in text. Lowercase forms maintain a steady x-height with compact apertures and distinctive terminals, while figures follow the same contrast-driven, display-oriented construction.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits branding systems for fashion, beauty, and premium goods, as well as packaging and event materials that benefit from a refined but assertive serif voice.
The overall tone is elegant and commanding, pairing classic bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and bold thick strokes read as premium and editorial, suited to designs that want authority and polish rather than softness.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif, optimized for impactful display typography while retaining recognizable, conventional serif structure. Its bracketed wedge serifs and sculpted curves suggest a focus on elegance, hierarchy, and editorial presence.
In continuous text the strong contrast and narrow internal counters create a dense, impactful color, especially in heavier strokes and diagonals. Pointed terminals and wedge serifs add sparkle at larger sizes, while the more stylized shapes (notably in diagonals and curved terminals) contribute a distinctive, designed character.
