A sculpted text serif with striking thick–thin modulation and sharply defined hairlines. Serifs read as fine and pointy with wedge-like terminals, giving strokes a chiseled, high-fashion silhouette. The curves are smooth and tightly controlled, with vertical stress and compact interior counters that deepen the inked presence in letters like B, R, and 8. Lowercase forms are sturdy and traditional in structure, with a noticeable teardrop/ball-like finial on the a and a clean, upright rhythm through stems and joins.
This design is well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and crisp detailing are assets. It also fits branding and packaging that want a refined, fashion-forward serif presence, and it can serve as a display companion to a more understated text face for longer reading.
The overall tone is polished and dramatic, balancing classic bookish manners with an editorial, couture edge. Its sharp terminals and glossy contrast project confidence and sophistication, making the text feel intentional and premium rather than neutral.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif by amplifying contrast and sharpening terminals for impact. The design prioritizes elegance and visual authority, aiming for strong typographic color and a distinctive, editorial voice.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals become a defining feature, while in dense settings the heavy main strokes create a strong typographic color. The numerals match the letterforms’ high-contrast logic, with particularly sculptural shapes in 2, 3, and 8.
