A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, wedge-like serifs. Strokes terminate in pointed, flared ends that give many letters a slightly carved, calligraphic finish, while curves remain smooth and tightly controlled. Proportions are expansive with generous horizontal reach, and spacing reads open and steady, helping the bold, sculptural letterforms hold together in longer lines. Numerals and capitals share the same crisp, blade-edged detailing, producing a consistent, emphatic texture across the set.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and book cover typography, and other editorial settings where contrast and character are desirable. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes, subheads, or opening lines, but the sharp details and strong contrast suggest using it where size and print/hi‑res rendering can show the forms cleanly.
The overall tone is editorial and dramatic, combining classical serif manners with a sharper, more theatrical edge. It feels formal and assertive rather than neutral, with enough refinement to read as premium while still showing a distinctive, slightly aggressive bite.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional serif voice by amplifying contrast and sharpening serif terminals for a more attention-grabbing, fashion-forward presence. It aims to deliver a luxurious, display-ready texture while staying recognizably within classic serif structure.
The sharp joins and tapered terminals create bright internal counters and a lively rhythm, especially in diagonals and cross-strokes. The design’s contrast and pointed details are most striking at display sizes, where the sculpted serifs and hairlines remain clearly visible.
