A compact, high-impact serif with strong vertical stress, crisp wedge-like terminals, and bracketed serifs that flare subtly from the stems. The design pairs dense, weighty stems with razor-thin hairlines, creating pronounced light–dark modulation and sharp interior counters. Curves are taut and slightly calligraphic, with angled joins and occasional teardrop-like finishing on smaller details. Proportions feel slightly condensed in uppercase, while lowercase forms show lively, individualized silhouettes that keep a steady rhythm in text despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where its contrast and flared finishing can be appreciated. It works well for magazine typography, posters, cultural branding, and book covers—particularly when paired with a quieter supporting text face.
The overall tone is assertive and elevated, leaning toward an editorial, heritage feel with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp serifs and steep contrast add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the subtly swashy details keep it from feeling purely austere.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a contemporary take on a traditional serif voice: maximizing contrast and sharp, flared terminals for a luxurious, attention-grabbing presence while maintaining legibility and structure in uppercase and numerals.
The numerals and caps read as especially sturdy and display-oriented, with triangular/wedge cues recurring across terminals and diagonals. In the text sample, spacing holds together well at large sizes, but the extreme hairlines and tight apertures suggest it is most comfortable when given generous size and printing conditions that preserve fine detail.
