A high-contrast serif with stout vertical stems and hairline-thin connecting strokes that create a strong light–dark rhythm. Serifs are sharply tapered and often triangular or softly bracketed, with frequent flared terminals and teardrop-like joins that give curves a carved, calligraphic feel. The capitals are broad and emphatic with generous bowls and clear inside counters, while the lowercase shows distinctive wedge-like entry strokes and compact, sturdy forms that hold up at display sizes. Figures are similarly weighty and stylized, with curving diagonals and crisp hairline details that reinforce the dramatic contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and editorial typography, posters, and brand marks where high contrast and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but its sharp hairlines and dense texture suggest using it primarily at larger sizes and in high-quality reproduction.
The tone is assertive and polished, combining classical bookish cues with a fashion-forward, high-impact presence. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals add a refined, slightly theatrical character that reads as premium and attention-seeking rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: strong vertical emphasis, elegant hairlines, and sculpted terminals that create a memorable, premium voice for display typography.
Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation, and many terminals end in pointed wedges or small ball details, adding a decorative edge without becoming ornate. Spacing in the sample text feels tight and headline-oriented, favoring dense, impactful setting over airy text color.
