A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are predominantly wedge-like and pointed, often resolving into triangular beaks or flared terminals that give the contours a chiseled, display-forward finish. Bowls and curves are generous and smooth, while joins and cut-ins create lively internal shaping; counters stay open but are visually tightened by the strong thick–thin rhythm. The overall texture reads dark and authoritative, with crisp edges and a slightly dramatic stance that emphasizes vertical stress and formal structure.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine covers, and large-scale typographic statements where contrast and sharp terminals can be appreciated. It also fits premium branding and packaging that benefits from a refined, high-fashion serif voice, and works well for pull quotes or section openers when set with ample spacing.
The tone is luxe and theatrical, balancing classical refinement with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast suggest fashion, publishing, and premium branding, while the bold silhouette keeps it confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, display-leaning interpretation of a classic high-contrast serif, prioritizing striking thick–thin drama and sculpted terminals for strong visual impact in headline and branding contexts.
In running text at large sizes, the pointed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation create a distinctive rhythm that feels more headline-oriented than quiet body copy. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes that help them stand out in editorial settings.
