A high-contrast serif with sharp, wedge-like serifs and crisp, calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition quickly from thick verticals to hairline joins, with pointed terminals and triangular cut-ins that create a faceted, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and steady with generous inner counters, while lowercase forms show compact bowls, firm vertical stress, and slightly pinched joins that add bite to the rhythm. Numerals are tall and weighty, with strong contrast and assertive silhouettes that stay consistent with the text face.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where its contrast and wedge serifs can carry the composition. It can also work for short editorial passages at comfortable sizes and leading, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting confidence and ceremony with a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge. Its sharp serifs and sculpted contrast suggest a refined, traditional voice that still feels energetic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through heightened contrast and sharpened, wedge-like serif geometry, creating a distinctive editorial voice that stands out in display use while retaining recognizable, classical letterforms.
At larger sizes the detailing reads as crisp and luxurious, while in dense settings the sharp joins and hairline connections can become visually busy, giving the texture a lively, inky sparkle. The spacing and proportions support prominent headlines and short blocks where the contrast and triangular accents can be appreciated.
