A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes often resolve into wedge-like serifs and flared ends rather than boxy slabs, with tight joins and deep, teardrop-like interior cuts that create strong black-and-white patterning. The capitals feel stately and spacious while the lowercase shows compact, carefully carved forms, including a single-storey a and a distinctive, rounded g with a looped ear. Numerals echo the same engraved, calligraphic construction with curved spurs and sharp finishing points, giving the set a consistent, ornamental rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, magazine covers, pull quotes, and brand marks where the high-contrast shaping and carved details can be appreciated. It also works well for packaging and event/poster typography that benefits from a refined, fashion-forward serif voice.
The overall tone is luxe and editorial, with a theatrical contrast that reads as modern-classic rather than purely historical. Its sharp finishing and carved counters lend a couture, poster-ready presence, suggesting sophistication with a slightly dramatic edge.
Likely intended as a contemporary display serif that blends classic calligraphic contrast with decorative, chiseled detailing to deliver a premium, attention-grabbing look in larger settings.
The design relies on distinctive cut-ins and tapered strokes, so fine details become a major part of its texture at larger sizes. In longer text the strong internal shapes and sharp terminals create an assertive typographic color that stands out more as display than as quiet reading type.
