A sculpted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapering terminals. Serifs are bracketed yet sharp, with triangular and wedge-like finishing that gives many strokes a chiseled, faceted feel. Curves are taut and controlled, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm alternates between heavy verticals and hairline joins for a distinctly engraved look. Numerals and capitals read as display-forward, with strong silhouette contrast and occasional flaring at joins and terminals.
It suits headlines, magazine typography, and cover work where high contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated. It can also support premium branding, invitations, and poster-style compositions that benefit from an authoritative, classic voice.
The font conveys a formal, editorial tone with a dramatic, fashion-forward edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculptural serifs suggest refinement and authority, while the angular finishing adds a slightly theatrical, high-style character.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with amplified contrast and sharpened, wedge-like finishing for added impact. It aims for a refined, print-inspired aesthetic that stands out in display settings while retaining recognizably classical proportions.
In longer text, the strong modulation creates a lively texture and noticeable sparkle, especially where hairlines meet heavy stems. The design’s pointed terminals and compact internal spaces make it feel best when given sufficient size and breathing room, where its detailing stays clear.
