A high-contrast serif with sculpted, flared stroke endings and crisp wedge-like serifs that give forms a chiseled, carved look. Vertical stems feel weighty and steady while hairlines taper sharply, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are full and slightly tensioned, with pointed joins and tapered terminals that show a subtle calligraphic influence. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, supporting dense setting while maintaining strong lettershape definition.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, magazine and book titling, posters, and brand marks where its contrast and sculpted terminals can read clearly. It can also serve for short runs of text (introductions, pull quotes, captions) when set with comfortable size and spacing to preserve its fine hairlines and sharp details.
The font projects an editorial, fashion-forward seriousness with a touch of theatrical elegance. Its sharp tapers and flared endings add drama and authority, while the controlled proportions keep it polished and formal rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver a contemporary take on classic serif sophistication, pairing strong vertical structure with dramatic tapering and flared endings for emphasis. The overall intent appears to balance luxury editorial flavor with sturdy readability, creating a recognizable voice for prominent typography.
Capitals have a statuesque presence with emphatic serifs and strong internal contrast, and the numerals match the same sharp tapering and sculpted stress. In text, the deep contrast and pointed details create sparkle and a distinctive rhythm, especially in combinations with diagonals and rounded bowls.
