A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Stems subtly flare into the serifs, creating a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish rather than blunt slab endings. Uppercase forms are broad and stately with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and strong vertical stress in round letters; lowercase shows compact bowls, a two-storey a and g, and a narrow, clean t with a fine crossbar. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing sturdy verticals with hairline joins and pointed beaks for an elegant, chiseled rhythm.
Best suited to display settings such as magazine headlines, book and album covers, luxury branding, and packaging where contrast and sharp detail can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages like pull quotes or intros in high-quality print, provided the size and output preserve hairline detail.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, with a sense of fashion-page drama and literary gravitas. Its sharp hairlines and flared serifs read as premium and traditional, lending a poised, ceremonial character to headlines and formal messaging.
Likely drawn to deliver a contemporary take on classic high-contrast serif typography, emphasizing elegance through flared serifs and precise hairlines. The intent appears to balance traditional editorial authority with a more sculpted, fashion-forward sharpness for premium display use.
The design leans on clear vertical emphasis and tightly controlled curves, producing a polished texture in text while remaining most striking at larger sizes. Pointed joins and tapered endings add sparkle, but the thinnest strokes require adequate size and contrast for best reproduction.
